Wildlife experts have raised concerns about a young whale, entangled as it could be travelling up the Mid North Coast.

The first sightings came yesterday just north of Newcastle, with reps from marine mammal rescue group ORRCA saying the sub-adult is carrying along marine debris like ropes and buoys.

The items have a massive impact on its energy.

We shouldn't approach the beast and anyone with info should call ORRCA on 9415 3333.
