Shark warning for NSW river after whale carcass removed
A marine biologist says sharks are likely to be attracted to a New South Wales sandbar where a dead whale was left for more than a day.
A dead whale has been removed from the Clarence River near Iluka on New South Wales' Mid North Coast. A marine biologist has warned that the carcass's smell may attract sharks. The whale was spotted stranded on a sandbar and taken out to sea the following day. A marine biologist advises against swimming in the area for at least a week. Experts suggest the whale may have been a juvenile humpback.
