ANOTHER HUMPBACK WHALE WAS SPOTTED ENTANGLED IN FISHING GEAR LAST WEEK. ON THURSDAY A WHALE WATCHING TOUR BOAT SIGHTED THE WHALE OFF THE COAST OF MOSS LANDING, WITH LINE WRAPPED AROUND ITS MOUTH. THE WHALE APPEARED TO BE TRYING TO FREE ITSELF BY SLAPPING ITS CHIN ON THE SURFACE. RESCUE TEAMS WERE CALLED, BUT BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED THE WHALE HAD FREED ITSELF AND HAD RESUMED NORMAL BEHAVIOR. ANYONE THAT SPOTS AN ENTANGLED SEA MAMMAL IS URGED TO CALL 877-767-9425 OR REPORT IT TO THE COAST GUARD.
