Farewell Spit
stranding update: 12.30pm Monday 13 February
DOC
has reconsidered its plans for disposal of the dead whales
from the strandings on Farewell Spit. The dead whales will
now be moved with a digger further up Farewell Spit to the
area of the nature reserve that is not open to the
public.
The whales will be moved off the shore and
into the dunes.
It has been decided it is more
suitable to take the dead whales out of the area that is
open for public walking
access.
