-The body of the whale found off the west coast of Mauritius is stuck in the rocks on the shore (photo) near the Club Med in Albion. It was shortly before nightfall on Tuesday 15 November, the Coast Guard has taken steps to invite swimmers to evacuate the lagoon.

Late intervention of the authorities after a dead whale had been found in the vicinity of Albion. Only 18 hours on Tuesday 15 November, the headquarters of the Coast Guard gave the alarm to evacuate the lagoon bathers. The management of Club Med which is in the region has been asked to suspend water activities. A shark warning has been issued.

This was also deplored the village chief and manager of the hotel, Aziz Ait Itto. "I have been informed in any way by the authorities. It is through the press and the people I met at the hotel I knew there was the carcass of a sperm whale behind the hotel, "he said.

The presence of what remains of whales in the lagoon does not seem to disturb the tourists who continue to indulge in holiday activities. "As long as we do not approach this does not bother me. The hotel we were not informed of the presence of the wreck, "says one of them. 

Since he entered the area on the west coast, the body of the whale drew, in fact, sharks. Fishermen fear the arrival of other marine predators such as barracudas. The fishermen's union, Judex Rampaul, wonders, for its part, the circumstances of the death of the sperm whale.

The body of the whale got stuck between the rocks a few meters from Club Med all day on Tuesday. Pieces of rotting flesh began to detach from the mammal and spread in the lagoon. A layer of fat floating around the dead whale.

The Coast Guard planned to cover the corpse of lime to prevent the spread of the stench that emanates.

The decomposed corpse of a sperm whale was discovered during the day on Monday, November 14 off the west coast of Mauritius.

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.
