A newsconference held by the Taskforce WhaleWatch has heralded the success of its whale trap and release tracking programme.
Spokesperson, Corina Cullem said, “Taskforce WhaleWatch is pleased to announce the capture of this season's first humpback whale in lobster ropes off the Victorian Coast. This clearly demonstrates that the joint Federal and State Government plan to deploy extra shark nets and fishing traps up the Australian east coast will be highly successful in allowing us to track whale migration. The more whales we catch and release, hopefully alive, the better picture we will create."
Taskforce WhaleWatch also announced plans to expand the netting programme into deeper waters.
"It's only a dream at the moment," said Ms Cullem, " But one day we'll nab one of those blue whales, fingers crossed anyway."
