Fake dolphins and frantic digging: the army of helpers learning to rescue New Zealand's stranded whales.
Fake dolphins and frantic digging: the army of helpers learning to rescue New Zealand's stranded whales.
A vast network of volunteers leap into action to save beached creatures in New Zealand, a global hotspot for strandings.
The animals are so life-like beachgoers run to check on them, prompting assurances from trainers they are just models to teach people how to respond if a whale or dolphin strands.
Project Jonah Whale rescue workshop on Sat March 1st 2025 at Scorching Bay, Wellington, New Zealand.

'We have never seen this': scientists baffled by behaviour of pilot whales before WA mass stranding.
Environment minister says way pod crowded tightly together 150 metres offshore before becoming beached is 'unique and pretty incredible'
Officials are baffled by the remarkable behaviour of a large pod of pilot whales that grouped together in a heart shape before stranding themselves on a remote Western Australian beach.
Drone footage captured the moment the pod of almost 100 long-finned pilot whales moved tightly together before stranding themselves at Cheynes beach about 60km east of Albany on Tuesday evening.
By Wednesday morning, more than 50 whales lay dead on the shore, with volunteers, government workers and scientists fighting to save 46 more.

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.

Fake dolphins and frantic digging: the army of helpers learning to rescue New Zealand's stranded whales.
A vast network of volunteers leap into action to save beached creatures in New Zealand, a global hotspot for strandings.
The animals are so life-like beachgoers run to check on them, prompting assurances from trainers they are just models to teach people how to respond if a whale or dolphin strands.
