A research biologist with Cascadia Research, Erin Falcone said Monday the group still hopes to find the whale. The director of the Olympia-based marine mammal research group, John Calambokidis, tracked the whale over the weekend in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. He says the situation is life-threatening, because the whale will continue to grow, but the lines will not stretch. Observers were able to attach marker buoys with a radio transmitter to the whale Saturday, but they were removed overnight by fishermen who thought they were helping.
