It was walkers who gave the alert this Monday morning a little after 8 o'clock.
Eight days after the last stranding of a cetacean on the coast of Finistère, a new whale was stranded overnight from Sunday to Monday on a beach in Ploéven in the bay of Douarnenez.
According to
Le Télégramme
, the marine mammal measures about fifteen meters.
“At this stage, the animal is alive” and “there is an attempt to release it which is in progress”, indicates the prefecture of Finistère, specifying that firefighters and gendarmes are still on site.
The #rorqual would have arrived in the night.
These photos were taken early in the morning.
At present it is semi submerged but still silted up to start again on its own.
An attempt at towing will be made by the SNSM.

This is the third cetacean discovered stranded on a beach in Finistère since the beginning of September.
On September 2, the carcass of a fin whale 15 to 20 meters long was discovered south of the island of Sein.
Eight days later, another whale over 17 meters was stranded on Kermabec beach in Tréguennec.
