- After a report received at 08:16, an expert from the German Oceanographic Museum in Stralsund confirmed the death of the roughly seven-metre humpback whale.
- A government vessel began towing the animal toward Stralsund in harnesses; it was expected to reach Dänholm later that evening, with a dissection at Nautineum planned for Friday.
- A whale had been sighted in recent weeks first off Kiel, then near Wismar and Wustrow, and most recently near Miedzyzdroje; WWF Poland said it was swimming freely and had not become entangled in nets.
- It remains unclear whether the whale in the Greifswald Bodden was the same specimen, while large whales are rare in the Baltic Sea and do not belong to its natural habitat.
Nevertheless, I am saddened that we have now, for the second time within a year, had to confirm the death of a humpback whale in the Baltic Sea, this time directly in the country’s territorial waters.— Till Backhaus, Environment Minister, commenting on the whale deaths in the Baltic Sea

- On Monday around 9 a.m., the Wismar harbor office reported a large whale that has since been observed by the water police.
- The whale measures approximately eight meters in length; its species has not yet been confirmed.
- The animal was seen swimming first in the west and sea harbor areas before heading back toward the harbor exit, losing sight by afternoon.
- Efforts focus on guiding the whale safely back to deeper waters while preventing strandings, with boaters advised to maintain distance.
The goal of all measures is to ensure the animal has a low-disturbance return path to deeper waters and to prevent strandings or other threats to the animal.— Schweriner Umweltministerium

Key FactsExperts Consider Humpback Whale’s Survival off Wismar Unlikely

- The humpback whale has been lying in shallow water off Wismar for about a week, while an expert team and divers checked its position again.
- Experts assess the animal as sick and injured, with severe skin problems linked to the Baltic’s low salinity and injuries possibly caused by a ship’s propeller and probably a net.
- A catamaran rescue previously under consideration was abandoned because the whale’s condition does not permit transport and lifting it could cause fatal stress and further skin tears.
- Euthanasia was ruled out, and experts say the whale will probably die in the shallow water within the coming days or weeks because it needs another 60 centimeters of water to free itself.
We have tested all possible actions and came to the conclusion: The animal is not transportable and could even die suddenly from the high stress and the already severely burdened skin.— Expert Stephanie Groß, marine biologist, explains
