Parks and Wildlife Service officers from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) have successfully removed the whale carcass from Ten Mile Lagoon Beach, west of Esperance.
Additional caution is recommended by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, as any residue from where the whale carcass was beached may attract sharks to the area.
Stay informed of shark activity information by checking the SharkSmart website, download the SharkSmart WA app or follow @SLSWA on X.
