Another said: “That’s pretty immature and just bad behaviour. ”When rangers arrived on Tuesday morning they found someone sitting on top of the whale.
“People shouldn’t be doing that at all,” Mack said. “The fact that a whale has lost its life is one thing, and it’s not a play thing. It’s very serious. ”Credit: 7NEWS Fisheries officers have been patrolling the area in a boat after several large sharks were spotted circling close to shore.
So far, a 3.7 metre great white off Floreat Groyne and another 3.1m in size at City Beach have been tagged.
“When there are whale carcasses we make sure that we use that as an opportunity to tag sharks,” Fisheries Minister Jackie Jarvis said. The whale carcass will remain at City Beach overnight before the removal process begins early on Wednesday.
“We would prefer not to have pedestrians on the beach just to allow the safe operations of quite large plant equipment and machinery,” Mack said. The clean up is expected to soar to more than $200,000 and the local council is expected to call on the state government for assistance.
