Summary
Southern right whales are making a rare coastal appearance near Sydney, but locals are getting way too close — prompting a new rule to protect these endangered giants. Boats must stay 500 meters away, and swimmers need to keep 100 meters out — enforced until November 30th, when their breeding season ends. These slow-moving whales, easily spotted by their V-shaped blow and unique white callosities, are especially vulnerable to human interference. Even one overly enthusiastic swimmer can cause stress, and authorities are warning that violations could lead to fines. The goal? Give these majestic creatures the space they need to recover and ensure future generations can witness them up close.
