Juvenile Whale Disrupts Sydney Harbour Ferries
A juvenile humpback whale unexpectedly entered Sydney Harbour, first spotted near Fort Denison on a Wednesday morning and causing ferry services to be temporarily suspended. The whale, likely a sub-adult, was seen near Circular Quay, the Opera House, Luna Park, and swimming close to paddle boarders and ferry commuters, providing a rare spectacle. NSW Maritime crews and marine scientist Dr. Vanessa Pirotta monitored and escorted the whale, establishing exclusion zones to keep boats at a safe distance. Citizen reports played a key role in tracking the whale's movements. By Thursday, the whale had apparently left the harbour, though experts noted it could return. The event is part of the annual migration of about 40,000 humpbacks, but such an extended visit inside the harbour is rare.
