This latest Wardie Bay Beachwatch, providing citizen science data to Marine Conservation Society, is in memory of an entangled humpback that marine life rescuers tried desperately to save.
Members of the Marine Clean 2019 group named the whale White Fluke (or Tynae), and they are hosting a Firth of Forth-wide beach clean on Sunday 16 June to encourage everyone to make our seas a better place.
