Fourteen of the whales were already dead when the group was found scattered over 150 metres of rocks, mud and mangrove early Friday in Parengarenga Harbour, 15 kilometres south of North Cape.
They appeared to have become stranded the previous day.
The department said the others had to be put down because they were in poor condition and chances of successfully refloating them in deteriorating weather were remote."
