Luis Antonio Tono Lloreda freed a juvenile humpback whale caught in a net. The whale, alongside its mother, had a net wrapped around its fin and mouth. To communicate with the two, Lloreda utilized intuitive interspecies communication, asking for permission from the mother whale. After receiving consent, he removed the net from the calf's mouth. Lloreda is part of the Guardianes del Mar, a collective focused on marine conservation in the biodiversity-rich Gulf of Tribuga. Ghost fishing gear poses a serious threat to wildlife and requires efforts from divers to remove.

Ghost fishing gear, lost or abandoned nets made of durable plastics, poses a significant threat to marine wildlife, necessitating urgent removal efforts by divers.
Scuba diving enables the identification and removal of ghost gear, which is vital for preserving marine ecosystems but carries high financial costs.
