Humpback whale moves again in Baltic Sea.
A humpback whale was found stranded in the Baltic Sea off the German coast. The whale was showing signs of deterioration and was repeatedly rescued. Authorities stopped rescue attempts because the whale was struggling.
The whale was first found near Timmendorfer Strand and then again in the Wismarer Bucht. Marine biologists were monitoring the whale’s condition and trying to understand why it was repeatedly stranded. Rescue workers used sound signals to encourage the whale to swim away, but it was still weak. Authorities restricted access to the area to protect the animal. The whale had been stranded multiple times, and experts believed its chances of survival were low.
