Another dead whale
Submitted by mako magic on Mon, 2009-11-16 17:05
Just heard on the radio about another dead whale off Burns beach.
Wonder what the go is, in my time in WA i have never experienced so many dead whales.
Hope its not a thing thats going to happen every year.

I heard an interview with a marine biologist about all the dead whales, and he said that people are freakin about it, but it's just a sign that the population is growing. Basically, his point was that seeing more dead whales is positive.
of course, more whales naturally means more sharks to follow them...

Dead Whale
I would not think the whales find its a positive to show their increasing numbers if there dying.But there was also one south of Centuare marker Sunday (yesterday).How many this Year,or to be precise the past 6 months,1 Exmouth 1 Wilson Bay Rottnest, 1 Floreate Beach,1Eglington Rocks,(maybe the Burns one) 1 Sorrento Beach Near Hillarys,can any one else add to the list? No wonder the price of Shark Shields has gone up.jersey

What if it is an increase in the number of Whites? Why bother with Sanctuary zones of the Whales seem to be increasing anyrate?

Another one
Took the rescue boat out for a training exercise and for a squizzy at one that came in Tegg's channel and now is nearly high and dry south west of the Carnarvon race course/golf club.
Couldn't get close enough for good shots or to see if any sharks
