We’re here to kick off Sunday with some happy news: at the end of last week, humpback BCY1014 “Pop Tart” was freed from a week-long entanglement! We, along with other Pacific Whale Watch Association (PWWA) members across western Washington and British Columbia, reported Pop Tart’s entanglement and worked with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)’s Marine Mammal Rescue Unit to track Pop Tart’s movement, ultimately resulting in her freedom from fishing gear (a long line and small buoy). We’re so glad we could play a role in freeing Pop Tart and are excited to continue seeing her swim freely!
