Last night at 17:40 a dead whale washed onto the rocks at Buffelsbaai.

Sea rescue tried for more than a hour to divert it onto the beach, but could not change it’s direction and this meant it came to rest on the rocks in front of the campsite at Buffelsbaai.

According to AlgoaFM a warning of higher than normal shark activitty in the area was sent out.

Whale carcass washes up on rocks

The National Sea Rescue Institute says the carcass of a 14-metre southern right whale has washed up on the rocks at Buffels Bay.

The carcass of a 14-metre southern right whale has washed up on the rocks at Buffels Bay, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said on Thursday.

  

“We have informed the department of environment – oceans and coast,” said spokesman Craig Lambinon.

“NSRI Knysna volunteers launched (a) sea rescue craft at the request (of the department) to investigate any possibility of removing the carcass on the seaward side and possibly towing it out to sea.”

The outcome would be known later on Thursday.

Lambinon said it was not known what caused the whale’s death. – Sapa
