This morning, I was completely saddened to open up Facebook and find that a dead whale had washed up on Kure Beach. It was a juvenile humpback and UNCW's marine biologists will be conducting a necropsy on it to determine cause of death.It feels like this is happening more and more around the world. Last year, 337 whales were beached in Chile in a single event. In Alaska, dozens washed ashore in Alaska. In New Zealand, 66 pilot whales became stranded. In Japan, 160 whales became stranded in Japan. Yes, those were all in 2015 and there are more than those I've listed here.Yes, this is just a single whale, not the staggering numbers above, but it's not just whales.

Kure Beach Homes Reverse Floor Plans   some of the transcription below:   By Jay Seville of http://kure-beach-homes.com So let’s look at these homes, one of these 41 0 Sandman we looked at, the big point from all    of this is going to be this.

That’s exactly what you’ll find in Kure Beach, right here on the southeast NC coast – one of my favorite little beach towns in the area.
