@drvanessapirotta: Australians are wanting to understand more about our blue backyard. If there’s a dead whale at a beach, don’t touch it and best not to swim. Dead whales also bring with it natural ecosystem engineers - sharks. When it happens at your local beach, people stop to watch it all unfold. A quick snapshot of my ABC News Breakfast Interview with @james_glenday helping us understand the why and what to do with dead whales. I make reference to human safety, First Nations consultation and science. Whale-come! #scicomm #beach #whale #whalefall #australia
