This photo released by Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania, shows whales stranded on Ocean Beach at Macquarie Harbour on the west coast of Tasmania of Australia, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022. – About 230 whales have been stranded on Tasmania’s west coast, just days after 14 sperm whales were found beached on an island off the southeastern coast.
A team from the Marine Conservation Program was assembling whale rescue gear and heading to the area, the department said.that the whales were visible near the entrance to Macquarie Harbour and described the stranding as a “massive event."“Whales are a protected species, even once deceased, and it is an offense to interfere with a carcass,” the environment department said.
“They will be going to different areas and searching for different food sources,” Meynecke said. “When they do this, they are not in the best physical condition because they might be starving so this can lead them to take more risks and maybe go closer to shore.”
