Three Right Whales entangled in the Gulf of St Lawrence
#1
We are watching an unfolding emergency with the Right Whales. There are six dead whales this year. Now there are three Right Whales entangled in fishing gear. It is not clear how they are going to be. It depends on how much rope there is and how it is effecting the whales ability to swim and feed.

They have closed that area to fishing, but there is so much abandoned fishing gear in the oceans that it would take years of work to remove it. We have made a real mess of the oceans. They are full of plastic and they are full of lost fishing gear. The water is polluted and we stress the marine wildlife with sonar.  We have made the oceans a place where life struggles to survive. In this case it is three entangled Right Whales. The news is full of stories about the oceans and animals in trouble. In the midst of this Japan has started commercial whaling again.

Could things be more messed up?
