REPORTAGE - Was tun mit einem verendeten gestrandeten Wal
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. Rob Deaville, Project Manager UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme with his team at Holkham Beach, Norfolk, where a fin whale had stranded.
Whenever a whale or dolphin is found dead on the shores of England or Wales, Deaville gets the call. Working for the UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP), funded by DEFRA, he has done more postmortems on marine animals than he can count. Each year, about 600 whales, dolphins and porpoises wash up on British shores. About 50 of those are whales, and this is the fourth fin whale stranding this year. Most often it’s a single animal, sometimes two or three. There are myriad reasons why a whale might strand: it may be weakened by infection or starvation, or have been hit by a ship. Some mass strandings have been traced back to naval activity. Sonar seems to lead whales to rise too quickly from deep dives, causing decompression sickness. Pollution takes a toll, too.

REPORTAGE - Was tun mit einem verendeten gestrandeten Wal
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. Rob Deaville, Project Manager UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme with his team at Holkham Beach, Norfolk, where a fin whale had stranded.
Whenever a whale or dolphin is found dead on the shores of England or Wales, Deaville gets the call. Working for the UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP), funded by DEFRA, he has done more postmortems on marine animals than he can count. Each year, about 600 whales, dolphins and porpoises wash up on British shores. About 50 of those are whales, and this is the fourth fin whale stranding this year. Most often it’s a single animal, sometimes two or three. There are myriad reasons why a whale might strand: it may be weakened by infection or starvation, or have been hit by a ship. Some mass strandings have been traced back to naval activity. Sonar seems to lead whales to rise too quickly from deep dives, causing decompression sickness. Pollution takes a toll, too.

Pictured: Freediver Sabrina Monella swimming with whales.
A freediver looks tiny as she swims with a pod of huge sperm whales - which are bigger in length than a bus.
Despite the whales' impressive size, they were more than happy to welcome a new addition to their pod as Sabrina Belloni held her breath for up to two minutes at a time in order to get close to the mammals.
Photographer Franco Banfi, who specialises in underwater wildlife, and Miss Belloni, 49, spent 10 days with the whales, regularly freediving with them to take these amazing photos.
Freediving is a form of underwater diving where divers do not rely on oxygen tanks - instead they must hold their breath until they resurface. SEE OUR COPY FOR MORE DETAILS.

Anti-Whaling Group Trimaran Rammed by Japanese Research Vessel
ANTI-WHALING GROUP TRIMARAN RAMMED BY JAPANESE RESEARCH VESSEL
An anti-whaling group's boat is reportedly sinking after its bow was sheared off in a collision with a Japanese research ship in Antarctica.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's futurustic trimaran Ady Gil was damaged after protesting against the annual whale cull by a Japanese fleet.
The Institute of Cetacean Research, the nonprofit organisation conducting the whale hunt, said the Ady Gil came 'within collision distance' of the Nisshin Maru's bow and repeatedly dangled a rope in the water that could have entangled the ship's rudder and propeller.
The Ady Gil's crew reportedly threw small projectiles designed to release a foul smell, and the whalers responded by firing high-powered hoses to keep the Sea Shepherd vessels away, the institute said in a statement.
The society said its boat Ady Gil was hit by the Japanese ship the Shonan Maru near Commonwealth Bay and had its bow sheared off.
"The condition of the Ady Gil now is that it is inoperable and the crew of the Ady Gil has been transferred to our other vessel, the Bob Barker," Locky Maclean, the first mate of the society's lead ship said.
The Ady Gil's captain had stayed on board to try to save equipment from the boat "before it floods too severely," he said.
Japan's Fisheries Agency, which has no direct involvement in whaling but overseas all the country's fishing operations, said it was still checking details about the clash.
"We have confirmed that there was a collision, but we have no other details. We have not heard that any boats have sank. We are now trying to confirm details of why the collision occurred," said Fisheries Agency spokesman Toshinori Uoya.
