Whale's body buried near High Island Reservoir
The whale which was found dead off Sai Kung last month has been buried near High Island Reservoir after dissection, officials said late on Wednesday. In a statement, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said its officers and conservationists from Ocean Park would monitor the natural decay of the body, in the hope of recovering the bones for educational use later. They say members of the public should not approach the burial site, which will continue to be cordoned off. The young male baleen whale had been spotted swimming in waters off Sai Kung for two weeks before its dead body was found late last month.
