Urgent Rescue Mission for Stranded Whale
An urgent rescue operation is currently underway on a popular beach in Cornwall after a young fin whale became stranded. The large mammal was discovered in the shallow waters at the mouth of the White River on Pentewan Sands in St Austell on Monday morning.
Rescue Team Scrambles to Scene
The British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) has dispatched a specialist team to the location. Volunteers are currently on site, carefully assessing the condition of the whale and formulating a rescue plan. The team is working against the clock to ensure the animal's survival.
High Tide Offers Critical Window
Rescue volunteers have identified a crucial opportunity for the operation. The next high tide is expected at 3.45pm today, which could provide the best chance to refloat the whale and guide it back to the safety of deeper water. The success of this endeavour depends on the whale's condition and the incoming tide.
This is a developing situation, and further updates are expected as the rescue mission progresses.
