The Buffalo City Municipality (BCM) says increased shark activity can be expected in Bonza Bay and Blue Bend in East London after a decomposing adult humpback whale washed ashore over the weekend.

According to the East London museum this 12.2-meter whale, weighing about 30 tons, is the second of its kind to wash ashore in just a week.
BCM says in a statement that the removal of the carcass is not financially feasible at this time.

The whale's cause of death is not known.
