"Environmental groups and marine specialists had warned the whale might run into trouble again after it was seen moving back toward shallow waters."
"Humpback whales are not native to the Baltic Sea. Experts say they often follow fish into the region in search of food and underwater noise can also contribute to navigational problems."
A humpback whale, initially stranded off Germany's Baltic coast, was successfully freed but has become stranded again. The whale, measuring 12 to 15 meters, first ran aground near Timmendorfer Strand. Rescuers managed to free it using a floating excavator, but environmental groups had warned of potential trouble due to its movement toward shallow waters. The whale was later spotted stranded again in the Bay of Wismar, approximately 40 kilometers east of its previous location. Humpback whales are not native to the Baltic Sea and may face navigational issues due to underwater noise.
