As you can see from the pics we did manage to re-float just as the sun went down, however the conditions were challenging, with the waves and prevailing winds proving too much for the exhausted juvenile.
We gave it our absolute all though 💙

Looks like it was a heroic effort from you all! What a shame it wasn't ultimately successful.

The complexities of marine wildlife rescue operations are a testament to the intricacies of human-nature interactions. The BDMLR's valiant attempt to save the juvenile minke whale serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve marine biodiversity.
