Whale Transported Via Barge In Germany

A humpback whale that has been stuck in shallow waters off the German coast for more than a month has been transferred onto a special rescue boat. The vessel is scheduled to transport the weakened mammal back to the North Sea. This follows a month-long period where the whale remained stranded. The animal has been stranded for over 30 days. Experts from the German Oceanographic Museum in Stralsund have criticized the transport of the whale, which is being handled by a private initiative. Rescuers used a 100-meter long channel to guide a whale into a floating barge. The animal had been stranded in a bay near Pöl for several weeks. The transport process involves using water-filled channels to move the heavy animal into the vessel. The operation is described as a complex effort by scientists and initiators.
