Frontline Whale Rescue: Detangling Their Threat

Entanglement in fishing gear is a well-documented source of human impact on baleen whales. The Center for Coastal Studies has been on the front line of whale disentanglement response since 1984, releasing more than 200 whales from life-threatening entanglements. Head to the brewery on Wednesday, June 21st at 6:30pm, to hear from a member of the Center for Coastal Studies, Paulette Durazo, who's on the frontlines of whale rescue. Paulette's presentation will cover the scope of whale entanglements, the history of the Marine Animal Entanglement Response team, and guide you through the steps of how to detect, document and report a live entangled large whale or sea turtle.
