  • The environmental minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Till Backhaus, claims the humpback whale is alive after release in the North Sea.

  • Backhaus relies on statements from a private rescue group, as no tracking data has been shared with authorities.

  • The minister appears uncertain and frequently defers responsibility to rescuers who operated without regulatory oversight.

  • Scientists and experts demand access to the tracking data to assess the whale’s condition and improve future rescues.
    • I know everything about the whale.
