Hey ocean lovers! 🐋 Ever wondered how to safely approach a stranded whale to offer help? Here’s a quick tutorial: 

1. **Stay Calm**: Always approach slowly and quietly to avoid stressing the animal. 
2. **Assess the Situation**: Observe from a distance. Check for injuries or signs of distress without touching. 
3. **Call for Help**: Immediately contact local marine rescue teams. They have the expertise and equipment to handle the situation safely.
4. **Keep the Whale Wet**: If safe to do so, pour water over its skin to keep it moist, but avoid the blowhole.
5. **Do Not Attempt to Move**: Never try to push the whale back into the water. This can cause further injury.
6. **Educate Others**: Share your knowledge and encourage others to act responsibly around marine life.

Remember, your actions can make a huge difference! 🌊
