Federal Fisheries and Oceans Minister, Gail Shea, confirmed in a recent statement that the bloating blue whale carcasses at the Newfoundland and Labrador beaches will be removed soon. According to her office, it is working with an unnamed Canadian museum on an agreement to take ownership of the beached whales. She mentioned on Twitter that “the agreement will benefit impacted communities and ensure these magnificent whales contribute to the education of museum visitors.”
In addition to that, the fisheries and oceans department is also present on scene to contain risks that the carcasses may pose risk to public safety. The town of Trout River, N.L., has received international spotlight after photos of a carcass filling with gas were posted online. Town officials are concerned about the stench and the possibility that the whale might explode. Consequently, waterfront businesses also want the whale to disappear before tourist season gets underway. Two other whales are located in Rocky Harbour and Baker’s Brook. Trout River is located on the west coast of the island.
A marine biologist at the National Museum of the Faroe Islands, Mikkelse, shared last year that he tried to cut open a sperm whale carcass with explosive results. The video of the whale explosion went viral as soon as it hit the Internet. Mikkelse stated that “the animal was more than two days old when we took it so we knew there would be some pressure on the inside, but nothing like what happened.”
