A whale and dolphin rescue off Tasmania is been hailed as a successful operation.
Forty-eight out of 200 beached mammals were saved - and that is considered to be a good rate of rescue.
In New Zealand this summer more than 400 people have taken part in a programme teaching them what to do in the event of a whale stranding.
On the Project Jonah course they learn everything from crowd control to how to handle whales.
Campbell Live spoke to Project Jonah about the course and discovered that if you don't know the simple rules when it comes to whale rescuing, you could easily do more harm than good.
It brought tears to my eyes to see the good people digging that trench, and to hear the cheers of all the people who wished the Orca well when he finally got out. Great video.
