Unfavourable ocean and weather conditions thwarting rescue efforts are forecast to persist for days and the surviving animals will be euthanised.
Marine experts have given up hope of rescuing 157 false killer whales stranded on a remote Tasmanian beach due to unfavorable conditions and the whales' deteriorating health. The stranding, the first of its kind in Tasmania since 1974, presents challenges due to the beach's inaccessibility and the size of the whales. Survivors will be euthanized to end their suffering, and carcasses will be examined for clues.
