It said samples of the whales, that beached in Hartenbos yesterday, 24 March, have been taken by the relevant authorities and the municipality’s environmental contractor is currently busy with carcass management.
"Carcass removal is underway, but dependent on tidal movement, which is having an adverse impact on successfully moving the adult beaked whale carcass.
