Sperm whale cow calf saved from drift gillnet off San Carlos, Sea turtles too!


This link leads to the story it is incredible and more ammo for our arsenal against our fisheries secretary who is totally negligent in their position.

Great end to an all too common tragedy. Thanks for posting this, Pam, and for all of your concern, activism, advocacy, and direct actions.

I had a similar direct action rescue & release almost 20 years back that I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking about.... Saving a life changes you forever.
