Pilot Whales in Danger

Conservationists fear that more pilot whales have the risk of being beached, this after a pilot whale has been found in a Habridean sea loch. A group of about 60 pilot whales had moved from the shallow waters of Loch Carnan, South Uist, and were swimming towards the south away from the shallow waters. Now the British Divers Marine Life Rescue said that the whales are headed back into the shallow waters of the loch. The dangers are that the whales can be stranded on a sandy section of beach at the loch. But there are other dangers, like the rocky coast line, with its many inlets and bays. Volunteers of BDMLR will continue to monitor the whales. 

It is terrible to hear that those precious whales are in danger to get stranded and die. These animals are magnificent and need to be protected. It is great that the volunteers will keep an eye out on the whales, but they need to find a solution so that the animals can return at their natural habitat, I am talking about the deeper waters. Maybe they could use sonar sounds to guide them to deeper waters. It is hard because such gadgets are very expensive. The whales are also in danger to get cuts on their heads because of the boats that pass through those waters. Let’s hope that they find a solution fast.
