[CINC] Saving a young Humpback in Sea of Cortez

[Anthony Lombardi]

Thanks Maria for sending this video and not "censoring" this video from us, so 
we can make our own determinations from this great video. Doesn't seem that much 
warning needs to be warranted here since everyone in the Naturalist Corps are 
well educated and know who to contact here in the U.S.  Thanks for the positive 
video and outcome!
Capt.Anthony

Folks,
Be careful about sending this video around without attaching any warning to it. 
I once interviewed a whale researcher/rescuer who had both his forearms broken 
while trying to cut and unravel similar fish nets from whales. Well meaning 
humans are often moved to action by such entangled victims, and the Baja event 
had an apparently happy ending, but success is not a given. Such rescues should 
only be attempted by people with proper tools and training—and in the U.S. these 
people are licensed by NOAA and can be found along the West Coast. Peter Howorth 
of the Santa Barbara Marine Mammal Center is the local contact (805-687-3255); 
I’m not certain about the Ventura area, but NOAA’s Joe Cordaro (562-980-4017) 
would be a good person to ask.
