ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A 13-meters whale entered, disoriented, in the estuary of river Vouga, in Aveiro, Portugal, and got stuck in a sand bank. The efforts of the fishermen and of the authorities to keep it alive were not enough and ended up dying. The reason that led the whale to make such a journey is still unknown, but the lack of food due to intensive fishing and the noise of the boats may have contributed to this outcome.
