Summary
| Description |
A team of specially trained NOAA rescuers successfully free a humpback whale from a life-threatening tangle of fishing gear off the Kona Coast of Hawaii! Led by staff from Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and NOAA Fisheries, the responders tracked the whale for more than a week before getting close enough to cut it free from at least five wraps of heavy gauge line around its tail fluke Friday afternoon. Marine debris is a major threat to the health of the world's whales, and NOAA works around the clock to protect the health of these majestic animals. Photo Credit: R.
