The science behind solutions: What we learn from large whale entanglement reports and response
About the Speaker
Every year in Alaska, whales become entangled in marine debris, fishing gear, and non-fishery related materials. Each of these interactions has a unique story to tell – about the entangling material involved, the people who worked to help, and what was learned along the way. Using recent case studies and footage from entanglement response efforts undertaken by trained and authorized responders, Michelle tells an immersive story that highlights the value of whale entanglement reporting and how communities can come together to develop solutions.
