As the humpback migration season starts, not all whales will arrive unharmed

“It was pretty clear to see from the images that this was an animal that had really starved for a few weeks, it was pretty thin and it was also covered with seashouses that usually multiply fairly quickly when those whales start to slow down,” he said.

Meynecke said that this is only the number of whales that people have encountered, and the true figure is probably double.

So ” [we want to do] Whatever we can do to work next to the whales, because they are not going anywhere, so we have to make sure that we are viable and ensure that we can do what we can do to prevent complications. “

New technologies

“So, if it takes a little longer to get that first to the surface, it’s not so bad, but if we have to do it for every fall, it makes it a bit difficult.”

“The fishermen are very aware of the number of whales that increases for many, many years. We look very much at coexistence, we want the whales to migrate safely, have a safe passage, but we also want fishermen to have a safe passage,” she said.

“We really try to detect as many ideas as possible and then make contact and transfer people so that we can adjust. Every operation is very different, so it’s really important to have that series of different gears,” she said.

Calls for consistent fishing regulations

“In general, what happens is that you will see a whale violation or do a blow or something like that, but what we are looking for is like a leading path behind the whale, because that gives us an indication that something is entangled,” he said.
