NEW CORAL!

A raft of rock, the size of 20,000 football fields is floating towards Queensland. The pumice was created when an underwater volcano erupted off Tonga. Scientists say it'll bring millions of new coral to the Great Barrier Reef. @ErinEdwards7 @QUT #7NEWS pic.twitter.com/W7pKdowYw2

For the past two days, Marine rescuers in Australia were tirelessly working to free a humpback whale that was entangled in a shark net off the Queensland’s Gold Coast area.

Video of the rescue operation has gone viral where Sea World staff can be seen working to free the struggling whale in the water. For the past two days, workers from Sea World and the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries did their best to free the young humpback, while it cried out loud in a desperate attempt to free itself.

Earlier on Wednesday (11 August), the rescue attempts by experts were abandoned after 10 long hours as darkness fell over the coast. Meanwhile, on Thursday (12 August), rescuers were seen trying their level best again by reaching out with blades at the end of long poles. They were also seen trying to cut a large mess of broken tangled net with orange buoys and yellow weights that caught the whale’s tail.

Finally, after a long wait and struggle, the mission ended. However, reports suggest that the whale was set off in Coolangatta by the rescue team without completely freeing it from the net. They could not free it properly due to difficult conditions at sea that made it tough for them, The Australian explained.

Meanwhile, as per the 7 News report, the mammal has some of the gear wound around its tail.

It was the longest rescue of a whale trapped in shark nets in Sea World's history. Marine rescue teams spent two days working to save the humpback off our coast. Experts say the animal has a 'sporting chance' of survival. https://t.co/tIEQ9K5sus @JoshAdsett #7NEWS pic.twitter.com/ufX4ayrFEg

Giving an update on the release of the whale, Sea Shepherd Australia asserted that it was released on Thursday with “a length of anchor chain and large shark net buoys still attached”. Also, the rescue team has deflated the buoys from the whale to allow it to dive but they are concerned about its survival.

This rescue has started a serious debate about Australia’s shark control nets which is creating a problem for other large marine animals. Moreover, few conservation groups in the country have been demanding the removal of shark control nets, particularly during whale migration season.

Apple Stores in Australia show confidence in measured approach to reopening

After nearly two months of closures, all but one of Apple’s retail stores in Australia have reopened. The country’s coronavirus mitigation strategy has so far proved successful, allowing it to be among the first regions where Apple feels confident to welcome customers back inside and store teams back to work. Apple Stores in a world warped by the coronavirus look and operate differently, but it’s all in the name of safety.

With 21 of 22 locations in Australia open, there are now 75 Apple Stores open around the world. It’s a far cry from the 510 stores Apple normally operates, but the path back to some sense of normalcy is within sight. Store reopenings began in China, where Apple established a set of guidelines virtually overnight that have been time-tested since February. A lucky few stores in Greater China never needed to cease operation.

Prior to today, reopenings outside of China occurred on a very small scale. South Korea’s only Apple Store reopened on April 18. Austria’s lone location sprang back to life on May 5. Masks have been a staple of public spaces in China for years, but a cultural shift is still underway elsewhere. Australia marks the first large-scale test of Apple’s reopening strategy in a world struggling to come to terms with a new normal.

At Apple Broadway, an upper-level mall location on the outskirts of Sydney, customers waited in a line winding past adjacent storefronts due to the 2-meter gap between each body. Retail staff handed out masks at the door and checked each customer with a contactless thermometer. Appointments for AirPods service were booked through next Tuesday as the store temporarily operates with a reduced number of team members. iPhone appointments were backed up until Thursday.

Video from Apple Chadstone near Melbourne shows a Today at Apple Forum idle and seating generously spaced apart. Half of the store’s doors are kept closed to limit customer flow. The precautions are consistent with other reopened locations around the world.

Consistency will be key to sustaining further reopenings worldwide and to set a smart precedent for other retailers who look to Apple as a leader. Responsibility falls on the shoulders of customers, too, who must do their part to maintain physical distancing and empathize with the new meaning of “open.” An easel outside of every reopened Apple Store gently eases shoppers toward the Apple Store and Apple Support apps for free, no-contact delivery and remote support.
