An international whale summit is planned for Sydney as wildlife experts involved in the struggle to save the city's orphaned humpback admit they could have done things better.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service, forced to defend itself as community outrage mounted over its handling of Colette's plight, would host the proposed summit next year.
While it was first thought the baby whale, which had been named Colin but turned out to be Colette, had been abandoned, the carcass of a humpback found yesterday off the Far South Coast will be DNA tested to see if it was Colette's mother.
Grown men and locals living around the Basin in Pittwater were in tears as vets sedated the baby whale in shallow water yesterday morning, six days after it sought refuge in the sheltered waters in Sydney's north.
