Maritime rangers discover whale carcass north of Swakopmund

Captain Sean Naude, Head of the Namibian Maritime Rangers, lifeguard, and marine life rescue services has confirmed the discovery of a whale carcass floating 30 kilometers north of Swakopmund by Wlotkasbaken on Monday. The whale carcass, believed to have been hit by a ship, was found during the team’s search efforts for a missing pastor who disappeared nine days ago.

The discovery, according to Naude was immediately reported to the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources to initiate appropriate actions. This finding comes at a time when the area is experiencing an increase in fish activity, which is likely attracting marine wildlife closer to the shore.

Captain Naude stressed the importance of promptly notifying authorities about such discoveries to ensure that necessary measures are taken to protect marine life and maintain public safety.
