Add this to 'Fishing Gear Entanglements'

Fishing gear entanglements is a major threat to whales. Fishing gear entanglements currently accounts for 82% of documented North Atlantic right whale population mortalities, while the remaining 18% is caused by ship strikes. In 2021, there was an increase in whale entanglements, with 70 occurences recorded in the U.S.

In most cases, however, it is recommended that members of the public should not attempt to disentangle entangled whales. The recommended approach is to report entanglements to a local entanglement response network.
