There are no survivors from the latest mass whale stranding on Tasmania's west coast.
Authorities were alerted to the stranding of between 80 and 100 long-finned pilot whales on a rocky stretch of Sandy Cape yesterday.
A parks and wildlife team sent to investigate by helicopter yesterday found around 12 survivors, but most of them were already badly injured by the rocky shoreline.
A larger rescue team arrived at the remote beach this morning by four-wheel-drive to find all the whales dead.
