Tangled Humpback Whale Sparks Rescue Mission Off Australia

  • Rescue teams are ready to assist an adult humpback whale spotted near the southern area of Sydney Harbour, which is caught in rope and pulling a light-colored buoy behind it.
  • The whale travels south against its usual northward migration path for June, indicating distress and unusual behavior.
  • On Sunday, ORRCA collaborated with the state wildlife authorities to attempt freeing the whale, but rough seas and strong winds caused them to lose visual contact.
  • Jessica Fox of ORRCA said the whale has rope entangled on its left pectoral fin with a light-colored buoy about 20 metres behind it, and urged rapid sightings to plan rescue.
  • The whale's movement south and irregular speed suggest stress, prompting public calls to report sightings to Hotline 02 9415 3333 for coordinated rescue efforts.
