Weakened Baltic humpback stranded near Wismar may fail to reach Atlantic
TL;DR Summary
A humpback whale stranded in Germany’s Baltic Sea near Wismar is weakening, with experts noting reduced movement and respiration; authorities have imposed a 500-meter safety zone to rest the animal and aid possible self-rescue, but the chances of its returning to the Atlantic via the North Sea are shrinking due to illness, possible injuries from fishing nets, and the bottleneck of the regional waters.
