Trial Bay crew assisting whale disentanglement operation off Mid North Coast

Less than two weeks after Marine Rescue NSW volunteers from Crowdy Harrington assisted the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service with a successful whale disentanglement near Camden Head, Marine Rescue NSW volunteers from Trial Bay are this afternoon assisting the NPWS whale disentanglement team.

Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Rodney Page said an operation is underway to free an entangled whale off Nambucca Heads.

“Marine Rescue NSW volunteers have been deployed on board Trial Bay 30 to assist.

“The crew on board Trial Bay 30 is providing support for the operation with the vessel acting as the mothership.

“The Marine Rescue NSW vessel has NPWS personnel and equipment on board,” he said.

Inspector Page said ORRCA is also assisting with the operation.
