SYDNEY - Less than a fortnight after the heartbreaking death of baby humpback whale Collette in Pittwater, National Parks and Wildlife crews are desperately searching for a second humpback, believed to be tangled in fishing nets off Sydney, The Daily Telegraph reports.
The adult humpback was sighted tangled in ropes and fish traps 4km off shore from Maroubra on Friday but has not been sighted since. This distressing image which shows the whale floating close to the surface with line around its body, was captured by fisherman Greg Stevenson.
Mr Stevenson kept an agonising two-hour vigil by the whale, after he raised the alarm with National Parks and Wildlife Services.
