Rescuers from the Australian Maritime Authority successfully extricated a humpback whale from a fishing line tangled around its tail off the coast of Western Australia. The operation, described as challenging due to the whale’s size and the line’s complexity, required specialized equipment and expertise. The whale was carefully moved to a safe location, minimizing potential harm to the animal. Marine biologists are investigating the cause of the entanglement and assessing the whale’s condition. The rescue operation is part of ongoing efforts to address marine wildlife concerns.
