According to the authorities, experts from marine fauna tried to help direct a young minke whale from the port of Long Beach where he has been swimming for a few days, according to the authorities.
“This happens from time to time,” said Michael Milstein, spokesperson for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “Usually they find their way alone.”
In 2017, a 20 -foot gray whale headed for the shallow waters on the shore of Belmont. This observation occurred one day after a 18 -foot gray whale in the shallow waters of the 1st place in 72nd place.
Milstein said Thursday that a team of marine experts had removed the booms near the port entrance to provide a wider opening for the whale. They also made noises to help direct the animal towards the opening.
“The whale really swam, but then reversed and returned,” said Milstein.
He said that the team had decided to call him one day and give the whale another opportunity to swim alone, perhaps when it is quieter at night. He didn’t say how old at the whale.
Helicopters with stations of new premises hovered on the landing of Catalina Express in downtown Long Beach, where the whale could be seen swimming like a small crowd gathered to take photos and record videos with their mobile phones.
Milstein said there was no immediate danger for the whale.
