Observation: * first sighted approx 4.5 nautical miles off shore* Humpback whale trailing rope and 4 white buoys * travelling southProjected travel distance: * 0730am Tuesday 25/09 between Dalmeny and Merimbula We have ORRCA members heading out at various vantage points trying to track this whale today but we need more help! WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP? If you are out and about along any coastline, we ask members of the public to please keep an eye out and report any entanglement sightings. We are in the change-over of migration season for the Humpback migration and there are lots of whales moving north and south along our coastline at the moment. Please SHARE this message and discuss with friends along coastal areas. Help us spread the word and increase knowledge of the dangers these beauties face. With the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Large Whale Disentanglement Teams on standby if you see this whale or any other entangled marine mammals, please call the ORRCA Rescue Hotline urgently on 02 9415 3333 so we can help coordinate a response to help this whale.

As temperatures soar please put some water out for our precious wildlife! Many birds and animals are raising young! Water placed in containers on the ground or in trees may provide some vital relief! Put in some sticks or small rocks so smaller animals don’t become trapped! It’s a simple thing all of us can do 🙏🐾 ... See MoreSee Less
