A plan has been drawn up to guide an orca adrift in the Seine towards the sea using sounds from its congeners, Seine-Maritime authorities said on Friday. Following a meeting with French and international scientists, including marine mammal specialists, the Seine-Maritime prefecture said it would monitor the killer whale remotely using a drone while by broadcasting sounds from its congeners in an attempt to bring it back to the sea. “The use of these minimally invasive methods, several hundred meters away, makes it possible to avoid the intervention of ships in the immediate vicinity of the animal, which could aggravate his state of stress and endanger his survival, such as the safety of the responders,” the prefecture said in a statement posted on Twitter.

The 4-meter orca, identified as a male, was first spotted at the mouth of the Seine on May 16 between the port of Le Havre and the town of Honfleur in Normandy, before ascending tens of kilometers upstream to reach the city of Rouen.
