Humpback whale in River Clyde 'distressed' after jet skis get 'too close' as cops launch probe

Police have launched a probe after a boat and two jet skiers got 'too close' to a humpback whale in the River Clyde causing it distress.

We previously told how the huge mammal was spotted swimming off the coast of Dunoon by stunned passers-by on Sunday, June 11. Officers have now revealed that two jet skis were seen near the whale in the waters off Greenock on the same day, which appeared to cause the animal distress.

A few days later, a boat was seen 'very close' to a pod of dolphins which included a young calf. The vessel was seen at around 1.25pm on Thursday and an investigation has now been launched to trace the occupants.
