Binoculars at the ready Central Coast, because we\u2019re being asked to keep our eyes peeled for a unique visitor to our coastline this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ORRCA Research Team is asking us to keep our eyes peeled for the world famous \u2018Bladerunner\u2019 whale off the Central Coast in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bladerunner is a Humpback Whale with unique scars along her left side and right tail fluke as the result of a devastating accident over two decades ago involving a boat propeller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Bladerunner\u2019 has since gone on to have a calf and was spotted yesterday off the Illawarra coast heading north to warmer waters (we mean, who could blame her at the moment) to the breeding ground with a companion whale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORRCA Research team are keeping their eyes peeled for the whale along our coastline in the coming days and asking members of the public to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the public are also being reminded to be extra vigilant if out and about on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORRCA says it is always a good idea to keep a close eye out for whales and get to know the rules around watching whales to help keep everybody safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you spot \u2018Bladerunner\u2019, then please call the ORRCA Rescue Hotline on 02 9415 3333 to report your sighting so ORRCA can track her along the coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
