Whale dis-entanglement team_111005

Members of the Coffs coast whale team with fishing gear which had entangled the mouth area of the 4.5metre calf south of Coffs Harbour, 11/10/05. Bright orange floats are attached to trailing nets or ropes to help slow the entangled whale until the material can be removed, by the team.

 

The young whale was freed approx 2 kilometres south east of Sawtell and was last seen swimming strongly and freely south accompanied by an adult, most likely its mother.
