Summary edit

Description Getting around as a humpback whale can be tiring — especially when entangled in marine debris. At Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, the Hawaiian Islands Entanglement Response Network has freed more than 23 whales from 10,000 feet of debris and fishing gear. This March the network worked for two days to free a whale from nearly 800 feet of cable. Find out how they did it: <a href="http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/news/jun17/disentangling-giants-hihwnms-combats-unintended-catch.html" rel="nofollow">sanctuaries.noaa.gov/news/jun17/disentangling-giants-hihw...</a> (Photo: Ed Lyman/NOAA, under NOAA MMHSRP permit #18786)
