MAUI ECO FRIENDLY THINGS TO DO
Whale Tale. By now you all have heard about the very rare juvenile Beaker whale that was saved the other day off the south shore of Maui near the Maui Sunset condos. Many conscientious citizens helped save the ailing whale who was trying to beach itself. Beaker whales are rare and are usually only found in very deep waters off of the Big Island. 30+ folks helped to lift the Beaker whale onto a flatbed truck that would transport it to the Kahului airport for its Coast Guard rescue flight to the Big Island for treatment in a new crustacean facility. Wow! Such excitement and ultimate happy news. And the Beaker whale is now stable and eating a solid diet of squid. Seems that the Beaker whale may have had some sort of kidney ailment. What a fantastic opportunity for scientists young and old to study this amazing whale. Mahalo to all you caring souls who helped save this very rare whale.
