Marine Rescue NSW volunteers from Port Kembla have been tasked to assist NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service following reports of an entangled whale off Five Islands this morning.
Port Kembla 31 will act as the mother ship for the NPWS crew.
Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Glenn Sullivan said a private vessel is currently monitoring the whale.
“We’ve got a good window of opportunity to assist with the disentanglement operation because the weather conditions are favourable.
“Marine Rescue vessel PK 31 will escort the NPWS Zodiac to the entangled whale shortly,” Inspector Sullivan said.
