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!

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.
