Keep boats and drones away from beluga whale off Dutch coast

nos.nl (Dutch)

A beluga whale near the Dutch coast is being stressed by approaching boats, drones, and helicopters. SOS Dolfijn urges the public to keep their distance from the rare visitor, as the disturbances cause the whale to expend energy swimming away instead of feeding. The beluga, normally found in Arctic waters, was first spotted ten days ago and is not showing signs of poor health, though experts hope it returns to its natural habitat soon.
