Sharks circle sick whale off Exmouth Coast
LISA CALAUTTI, The West Australian September 2 2009, 11.40am
Wildlife officers are monitoring a sick humpback whale stranded in a remote sanctuary zone in Exmouth. Sharks are circling
the 10m whale which has been trapped in the Bundegi Sanctuary zone for the past few days.
A Department of Environment and Conservation spokeswoman said the whale is stuck in a difficult to reach spot, about 800m off shore.
It is in a very poor condition covered in blisters.
