Rescue Efforts Intensify for Entangled Gray Whale Off California Coast
Multiple attempts to free the whale have been hindered by its aggressive behavior, complicating the ongoing rescue mission.
- A gray whale entangled in a fishing net off the California coast has evaded multiple rescue attempts since March.
- Rescuers have attached buoys and a satellite tag to the net, but the tag has since fallen off, losing track of the whale's exact location.
- The whale, part of the annual gray whale migration from Mexico to Alaska, is suffering from restricted movement due to the net's weight.
- Efforts to cut the net have been unsuccessful, as the whale becomes aggressive when approached.
- Rescue teams from NOAA and the Marine Mammal Center continue to search for the whale, hoping to disentangle it and prevent future incidents.
