悉尼两处海滩因鲸鱼尸体搁浅关闭

库吉和马鲁布拉两处悉尼海滩已关闭，原因是一具鲸鱼尸体冲上岸搁浅在岩石上。1 这具尸体位于两处海滩之间难以到达的位置，夹在悬崖和岩石架之间。1 兰威克议会与新南威尔士州初级产业部门正在协调处理方案，同时与当地原住民比迪吉尔人的代表Gamay护林员讨论，以确保任何移除措施都尊重其文化敏感性。1

兰威克市长克莱尔·威灵顿指出，"鲸鱼是当地比迪吉尔人的重要图腾动物"。1 议会表示将采取自然处理的方式，认为"鲸鱼是一种自然现象，随着时间推移自然会处理这具尸体"。1 这具鲸鱼尸体相对较小且明显腐烂，沿鲸脂处有明显咬痕。1 当局目前仍在确定鲸鱼的物种以及尸体到达该地点的具体方式。1

Coogee and Maroubra beaches in Sydney have been closed until further notice following the arrival of a whale carcass on the rocky shore between the two locations 1. The remains are positioned in a difficult-to-access area wedged between cliffs and rock shelves, complicating removal efforts 1.

Randwick Council is collaborating with the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries to address the situation while engaging with Gamay rangers to develop culturally and environmentally sensitive disposal options that respect the cultural significance of whales to the local Bidjigal people 1. Mayor Claire Wellington emphasized that "the whale is an important totem animal for the local Bidjigal people" 1. The council has indicated that "the whale is a natural occurrence, and the carcass will naturally be dealt with over time" 1.

The carcass is relatively small and shows advanced decomposition, with visible bite marks along the blubber 1. Authorities are still working to identify the whale species and determine how the remains reached this location 1.
