Entanglement is an animal welfare issue- Injuries cause prolonged suffering for whales and dolphins – early intervention is crucial
"Globally, scientists estimate 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises are killed each year due to entanglement or incidental capture (bycatch)."
"In one recent Australian case, rescuers removed hundreds of metres of fishing line, hooks, rope and buoys from a young whale whose movement and feeding ability had already been severely compromised."
"Even when animals are successfully disentangled, stress, impaired feeding, chronic pain and severe infection from entanglement injuries may already be irreversible."
"Rescue is not simply whether the animal is cut free from the net but whether the intervention allows full recovery afterwards." >>

Experts are baffled as rarely seen beaked whales are involved in a series of strandings.
A series of strandings of one of the world’s deepest dwelling and most rarely seen types of whale in the last few days across northern Europe have left scientists trying to understand why so many of the deep-diving whales have appeared.

#Whales are dying, but it’s not because of #windfarms
Whales are washing up along east coast of US. #OffshoreWind opponents blame future wind farms. Experts see different threat
Theory Republicans use to try to pin wind farms for #strandings is that noise created by #windturbines could disrupt #echolocation that some whales use for navigation, causing them to strand. This distracts from very real risks shipping vessels pose to whales navigating US shorelines, experts say

The #EastCoast #Whale Die-Offs: Unraveling the Causes. Activists are blaming a recent spate of #humpback #strandings off #NewYork and #NewJersey on #seismic exploration by #offshore #wind companies. But scientists say the deaths are not unusual and are likely due to increased #ship #traffic and entanglements with #fishing #gear. https://e360.yale.edu/features/humpback-whale-strandings-u.s.-east-coast
