Swimmers are advised to stay out of the water at Venice Beach and locations south as sharks may be present. The no-swim advisory issued Monday by the City of Venice Emergency Management comes as a sperm whale became beached over the weekend on the Sarasota County shoreline. It's in effect from the beach south to include Service Club Park, Sharky's on the Pier and Casperson Beach. Wildlife officials have been working to perform a necropsy to determine the cause of death. That involves teams of people cutting into the animal and peeling back parts of whale blubber. Ultimately, several tests will be performed on the whale.
