A humpback whale has become newsworthy due to repeated strandings in the Baltic Sea. Initially found stranded near Timmendorfer Strand, it managed to free itself. However, it subsequently stranded again in the Wismar Bay. Experts are concerned about the whale's survival chances, as repeated strandings can be detrimental to its health. The whale's presence in the Baltic Sea is unusual, as humpback whales are not typically found in this region. The incidents have garnered attention from environmental organizations like Greenpeace and the water police, who are monitoring the situation. The whale's fate remains uncertain, and efforts to ensure its survival are ongoing.
