A jet ski strikes a grey whale in the waters off Stanley Park in Vancouver, according to multiple reports. Witnesses describe the collision occurring near Siwash Rock on the west side of the park, with the incident unfolding around 7:30 p.m. PT on Monday, as captured in video shared by viewers. Fisheries and Oceans Canada says it is assessing the incident and determining whether the whale was injured. Officials are reviewing the circumstances of the collision and the whale’s condition following the report. The incident is being treated as an event involving an interaction between a marine animal and a watercraft in the same area where people frequently watch and travel by boat along the seawall. While the available accounts confirm the collision’s location and the time it happened, they do not provide details on the whale’s condition beyond the federal department’s ongoing assessment. Further findings from authorities are expected as the review continues.
