Volunteers from Marine Rescue Shoalhaven have been tasked to locate an entangled whale off the Illawarra Coast.
Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Glenn Sullivan said the whale is believed to be heading south in waters off Greenwell Point.
“Marine Rescue NSW volunteers on board Shoalhaven 20 were deployed at 1:45pm today to relieve the ORRCA drone which was following the whale off Gerroa.
“Shoalhaven 20 is attempting to locate the entangled whale and once they do our crew will monitor it until the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Whale Disentanglement team arrives on scene.
“Marine Rescue NSW will provide mothership support to the NPWS team if required,” Inspector Sullivan said.
