Posted Mon Nov 24 2008: from Sydney Morning Herald:
Rescued whales reunite in Bass Strait http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1227540188
Five pilot whales tagged with satellite tracking devices after surviving a mass stranding have successfully joined a larger pod in deeper waters off Tasmania. It's the first time whales rescued from stranding have been tagged to track their progress. Wildlife officers were celebrating on Monday after launching a huge rescue operation, which followed Saturday's mass beaching by more than 60 whales at Anthonys Beach near Stanley on Tasmania's north-west coast. Despite the efforts of 60 volunteers and 15 government wildlife officers, 53 whales died, but 11 were saved after being transported on trucks 17km along the Bass Highway and released in deep water at Godfreys Beach on Sunday.
