Scientists Call for Action to Prevent Whale Entanglements along Australia’s East Coast

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • At least 45 whales were entangled in fishing ropes along Australia's east coast in 2024, with a belief that the actual number may be closer to 100.
  • Dr. Olaf Meynecke emphasizes the need for better management of fishing gear to prevent whale suffering, highlighting that it's a largely ignored issue.
  • Only 15 whales were successfully disentangled last year, and the case of a juvenile humpback exemplifies the urgency for better rescue coordination.
  • Experts note that whale entanglements can lead to a prolonged and painful death, calling it “the worst way of dying” for marine animals.
  • Coordination with fisheries to manage fishing gear and consider whale migration routes is essential to reduce entanglement risks.
