This Jan. 16, 2022 photo taken off Koloa, Hawaii shows heavy-gauge line stretching out behind an entangled humpback whale. A marine mammal rescue team is looking for an adult humpback whale entangled in debris off the coast of Kauai Island in Hawaii.
First responders removed about 2,000 feet of heavy-gauge line from the animal over the weekend when it was off the island of Kauai, Authorities detached most of the gear but weren’t able to get all of it off before the whale moved on. Large whales can become entangled in active or abandoned fishing gear or other ropes and lines in the ocean. The drag from debris can cause whales to use more energy to swim. It can also make it harder for them to feed, potentially leading to starvation. The debris can also injure the animals and trigger infections.The entangled whale was emaciated, light-colored and rough-skinned, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.
