Rescuers successfully freed a humpback whale entangled in fishing gear after a daunting four-day operation in the Hecate Strait, highlighting the urgent need for better maritime practices.
The successful rescue operation involved over 50 precise rope cuts, demonstrating the commitment of Fisheries and Oceans Canada led by Paul Cottrell in addressing the growing threats to marine life.
Amidst these developments, experts are raising alarms about the rising maritime traffic brought on by projects such as LNG Canada, underscoring the urgent need for protective measures for whale populations.
While a humpback whale was saved, the discovery of a dead fin whale in Prince Rupert Harbour, likely due to human activity, reflects the increasing dangers that marine species face.
