Summary[edit]

Description A Christmas miracle! On December 25th, 2017, these intrepid responders from Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary freed an entangled whale off Maui. The whale had been trailing some 400 feet of heavy gauge line from its mouth, but working with partners, sanctuary responders were able to remove and recover all the gear. Many thanks to these ocean heroes! If you spot an entangled whale, please don't try to disentangle it yourself – this can be dangerous for both you and the whale. Instead, call your local marine mammal stranding coordinator hotline: <a href="http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/health/report.htm" rel="nofollow">www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/health/report.htm</a> (Photo: J.
