Humpback caught in rope

September 17, 2019/ Michael Veenstra

On Saturday 14th on our Southern Ocean adventure tour we came across a Humpback which was tangled in rope, this was reported in real time to Marine Parks to mobilize a rescue operation. Unfortunately the Whale has not been seen since despite ourselves and others attempting to locate the Whale using aircraft. Over the weekend we are still sighting both Mother and Calf SRW pairs in the Port Elliot/Middleton area.

The Big Duck respect & honour the ancestors & people of the Ramindjeri lakinyeri (clan) of the Ngarrindjeri Nation; on the Yarluwar-Ruwe (lands & waters) in which we operate our tours. We actively collaborate, share, preserve culture & protect ngaitji (totems).

We acknowledge the Ramindjeri & Kaurna people as the Traditional Custodians of the Yarluwar (waters) on which we meet & operate our tours. We pay deep respect to the past/present Elders & to all Aboriginal peoples.
