Wismar-Bucht

The Wismar-Bucht, a bay in the Baltic Sea southeast of Walfisch island, is currently the location of a stranded humpback whale. This whale was previously rescued from Timmendorfer Strand. According to the Schwerin Environmental Ministry, the whale has stranded again in the Wismar-Bucht. Experts have been concerned about the whale's well-being for days. News reports indicate uncertainty about whether the whale is stuck or simply resting, and the water police suggest the whale's chances of survival are diminishing. The whale is reportedly still attempting to swim away. The repeated strandings are drawing attention to the challenges faced by whales in the Baltic Sea and the difficulties in ensuring their survival after rescue efforts.
