- Burkard Baschek, director of the German Oceanographic Museum, said the whale was severely weakened and its condition had deteriorated markedly compared with Saturday; the museum reported reduced breathing frequency.
- During the night into Sunday, the 12- to 15-metre whale freed itself from a sandbank near Walfisch island as the water level rose, but soon became stuck again at a site about two metres deep, while experts hope it will move during darkness.
- Environment Minister Till Backhaus wants the animal left undisturbed while a 500-metre exclusion zone is monitored; Baschek expects the water level to fall by about 40 centimetres between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m. Monday, worsening conditions if the whale cannot free itself.
- According to reports, the whale had appeared repeatedly along the Baltic coast since early March and was apparently caught in a net, freed itself after its rescue near Timmendorfer Strand through a channel dug by an excavator on Friday night, while Stephanie Groß said part of the net remains in its mouth.
He's not well.— Till Backhaus (SPD), Environment Minister of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, said at a press conference in Wismar.
