Community reminded to give Migaloo a whale lot of space
Reports of a white whale passing the NSW coast has prompted a reminder for the community to give the extraordinary mammal plenty of space.
Environment Minister Matt Kean said the white whale, possibly the famous Migaloo, might be passing from the Central Coast to Newcastle today after being spotted on the South Coast yesterday.
“Since Migaloo was first reported in 1991 there are a number of other white whales recorded, and like the literary predecessor Moby Dick, human interest in pursuing these white whales is putting them at risk,” Minister Kean said.
