Marine Rescue NSW vessel Crowdy Harrington 30 played the role of mothership during an operation to free an entangled whale off Perpendicular Point near Camden Head on the Mid North Coast yesterday (Sunday 13 August).
Marine Rescue NSW Acting Northern Zone Commander John Murray said a volunteer crew on board CB 30 was deployed to assist the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Whale Disentanglement team just after 8am Sunday.
“CB 30 carried NPWS personnel, gear and provided on-water assistance for the operation.
“The humpback whale was successfully freed just before 11am.
“Marine Rescue NSW crews train with NPWS across the state for these situations and this result is a wonderful outcome,” Acting Northern Zone Commander Murray said.
