IT’S not unusual to see sea creatures washed up on the Sussex shore.
In some cases they are no more than star fish or small fish – and in others they are quite big or interesting.
This picture from 1963 shows a dolphin or porpoise of sorts getting washed up on the Sussex coastline.
Do you know who the two people in this shot are? And where are they?
More recently, this 50ft fin whale washed up on a beach in Camber Sands in 2006.
It was badly wounded and had probably been dead for a week before coming ashore.
Its decomposing 15m body weighed 25 tons and proved a challenge for marine experts who came to take samples for research purposes and to dispose of its remains.
The mammal had 17 propeller slashes downs its body and was oozing blood.
Team member Jason Carter said: “They are not common here, but we wouldn’t see them anyway because they are deep sea mammals.”
