SOUTH BURU - The South Buru Resort Police, Maluku, evacuated a about 12-meter-long whale found stranded on the coast of Terkuri Village, Aleksula District, South Buru Regency. <quo; Connecting the fish carcasses if allowed will cause disease for local residents, we and residents will bury the whale carcass and look for locations far from settlements, ” said South Buru Police Chief AKBP M Agung Gumilar, via message in Ambon, Antara, Monday, September 5. The burial location is still being coordinated with local residents to determine a safe and precise location. "I'm also still contacting the team there where the evacuation has reached. Because it's difficult to signal. We are also coordinating with the Introduction of the Education and Environmental System (PSPL) Serang Branch of the Ambon Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries for how it is handled,” he said. According to him, after the examination, no injuries were found on the stranded whale's body. <quo; Until now, whale carcasses are still intact and well and temporarily on the coast of Terkuri Village,” he said. The whale measuring approximately 12 meters was found on Sunday (4/9) at around 05.00 WIT at the beach of Terkuri Village, Lexila District, South Buru. Previously, the whale was still alive, but at the time of evacuation the position of sea water was in a state of receding and had difficulty evacuating to the sea due to the large body of fish. While waiting for the high tide to return, and if you want the evacuation process to the high sea or Banda Sea, the fish run out of breath and die.
