The appearance of predatory whales close to shore in mid-May has transformed Cu Lao Mai Nha islet into an attractive destination for tourists and photographers.

Numerous tourist boats and canoes carrying passengers are getting dangerously close to whales hunting for food at Cu Lao Mai Nha, posing risks to marine life and sustainable tourism development.

Beaches south of Sydney have been closed after great white and bull sharks congregated near the shore to feed on a whale carcass.

A 10-meter long, two-ton whale washed ashore in Song Cau ward and was buried by local residents according to local customs on the afternoon of 9/4.
