一具幼鲸尸体冲上悉尼东区Lurline Bay海岸,伦道克市议会(Randwick City Council)出于预防考虑关闭了附近海滩。市议会正就采取何种兼顾文化与环境敏感性的处理方式,与新南威尔士州初级产业部(NSW Department of Primary Industries)和Gamay Rangers进行磋商。目前尚未移走鲸鱼尸体。该地点岩石嶙峋、临崖而建,通行困难,市议会正在考虑关闭周边区域及岩石台地步道。市长Clare Willington表示,这头鲸鱼对当地Bidjigal原住民而言是重要的图腾动物。
A baby whale carcass has washed ashore at Lurline Bay in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, and Randwick City Council has shut nearby beaches as a precaution. The council is consulting the NSW Department of Primary Industries and the Gamay Rangers on a culturally and environmentally sensitive approach. The carcass is not being removed for now. Its rocky, cliff-lined location makes access difficult, and the council is considering closing the surrounding area and rock shelf walkway. Mayor Clare Willington said the whale is an important totem animal to the local Bidjigal people.
