Whale carcasses towed out to sea after mass stranding on Tasmania's west coast

ABC  

Days after more than 200 whales became stranded on a remote beach on Tasmania's west coast, authorities have completed the mammoth task of towing the carcasses out to deep water. Key points: The whale carcasses have been tied to longlines and towed out to sea by boats owned and operated by fish farms in the area A small number remain on Ocean Beach and will be buried when conditions permit, Incident Controller Brendon Clark said West coast Mayor Shane Pitt said it was good news the carcasses had been removed so quickly after the stranding, given the upcoming holidays Rescuers managed to save a number of the pilot whales after 230 became stranded on Ocean Beach, near Macquarie Heads, last Wednesday. "The original boat we had didn't quite have enough power, so we had to get one of our bigger boats and tie the two vessels together to get them out," Huon Aquaculture's Linton Kringle said. A small number of remaining whales on Ocean Beach were unable to be moved and will be buried over the next several days when conditions permit, Incident Controller Brendon Clark said.
