UPDATE: A crew from Marine Rescue Botany Port Hacking has spent the afternoon tracking the coastline south of Cronulla, along with vessels from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and NSW Maritime and a number of aircraft, searching for a whale that was reported to be trailing fishing nets and gear off the entrance to Port Hacking late this morning.
Rescue vessel Port Hacking 30 deployed in response to a request from National Parks to assist. Port Hacking 30 headed south to Wattamolla in the Royal National Park, keeping a careful lookout for a whale in distress.
The crew located a pod of about seven whales but the entangled whale did not appear to be among them.
