The decomposed corpse of a sperm whale was discovered in the day on Monday, November 14 off the west coast of Mauritius. Early Monday, November 14, fishermen have indeed spotted the carcass of a whale about a mile from the beach of Albion. Given the state of decomposition of the mammal, it would be dead for over two days. The carcass draws from many predators, including sharks. The Mauritius Marine Conservation Society (MMCS) and the Ministry of Agro Industry and the Office of the Prime Minister was made aware of the phenomenon in the early afternoon. So far, no guidelines have been sent to the National Coast Guard (NCG) of Black River. A group of fishermen who have approached the animal describe the phenomenon as a "huge ship that ran aground."Noor, a regular at the sea for over 20 years, argues that it is the first time he is so impressed with the "secrets of the sea". " It was like a boat was left in shambles , "he said, adding that even hundreds of meters of the whale died, he had to hold his breath because of the stench that exuded it. But this does not prevent it represents a bargain for a fishing trip successful. Along the west coast, from north to south, the animal may fail on the beach of Flic en Flac or Black River. The fear of the fishermen's union president, Ramphul Judex, is the reason behind the death of the sperm whale. " I think it's an alert to find out what is happening in our lagoons. Is it pollution? These are the questions we must ask , "says the union. Another apprehension, this time from the hotel managers is the ecological impact if the animal ran aground on the beach. At 17 hours, the carcass was in front of the hotel Club Med Albion and still headed south. The climatic conditions are particularly unfavorable sea excursions prove difficult.
