Dolphin calf rescued after spending weeks tangled in fishing line

"Marine rescuers are calling for the responsible disposal of fishing lines, with an estimated 1,500 animals entangled each year."

"It was a sad sight to see the injuries that a single strand of fishing line had caused to this individual, but it was the best feeling in the world to know we had removed it and given this little one a second chance at life."

Is fishing the new whaling?
Stop whales getting tangled in fishing ropes and nets on their whale migration routes.

"At least 45 whales were entangled by fishing ropes and line on the east coast in 2024, and experts are calling for better management of fishing gear in Australia to prevent marine suffering...Only about 15 whales were successfully disentangled in 2024.The constant drag of rope and floats over time slowly causes a whale to succumb to exhaustion. When they are on their migration … they would have to travel thousands of kilometres. Even the smallest float around the tail would mean, over several weeks, a loss of all energy reserves. It’s probably the worst way of dying for any marine … animal. It takes weeks to several months until they actually die."
"Preventing entanglements required better management of fishing gear."
