Summary edit

Description

NOAA Fisheries is responsible for the Large Whale Disentanglement Program which conducts disentanglement operations, research, and management to enhance the recovery of large whale species. In this photo taken off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, NOAA staff and external partners perform close operations to disentangle a North Atlantic right whale. The animal was observed entangled with gear wrapped around both flippers and encircling its entire body. The rescue team was able to remove enough gear to allow the whale to shed most of the remaining gear on its own.

The bow person is Dr. 'Stormy' Mayo of the Center for Coastal Studies, the middleman with the cutting tool is Jamison Smith of NOAA Fisheries, and the driver in the stern of the vessel is Chris Slay of Coastwise Consulting.
