A trained and authorized response team deploys buoys to slow a whale entangled in fishing lines and gear off Oregon in July 2026. The gear turned out to include a tangle of crab and sablefish fishing gear. The whale was freed, but the entanglement had damaged its jaw so it was considered unlikely to survive.
