More than 30 pilot whales stranded themselves on a beach in New Zealand and were safely returned to the ocean after conservation workers and residents helped to refloat them by lifting them on sheets.

Four of the pilot whales died.

Community Efforts

A team was monitoring Ruakākā Beach near the city of Whangārei in New Zealand’s north on Monday to ensure there were no signs of the whales saved Sunday stranding again, the Department of Conservation told The Associated Press.

The agency praised as “incredible” the efforts made by hundreds of people to help save the foundering pod.

“It’s amazing to witness the genuine care and compassion people have shown toward these magnificent animals,” Joel Lauterbach, a Department of Conservation spokesperson, said in a statement.

“This response demonstrates the deep connection we all share with our marine environment.”
