Calvados: a humpback whale seen off the coast, “a rare phenomenon”. The eight-meter-long cetacean was observed on Sunday by gendarmes from the Ouistreham nautical brigade.
The authorities remind you that it is forbidden to approach the animal within 300 m. In neighboring Brittany, it also happens that whales approach the coasts. In February 2023, a one-year-old calf returned to the Saint-Malo estuary (Ille-et-Vilaine). A few months earlier, a 20 m long cetACEan was stranded on the island of Sein.
