There is always a risk when fishing near whales.A young humpback whale that has been visiting Saltfjorden in Bodø was recently seen with a thin fishing line on its fluke. We also watched it avoid becoming entangled in a net stretched between two buoys. Video credit: Syra Reese.Entanglement in fishing gear is a serious threat to whales. Fishing lines and nets can cause severe injuries and sometimes lead to death.If you see a whale nearby, please avoid fishing in the area and never leave unattended nets where marine mammals may be travelling. Small actions like these can make a big difference in protecting the incredible wildlife.🐋 Have you seen a whale?

Last summer we were fortunate enough to have a visit from @daniel_bichsel and @oceanssearchforhope, who has created this amazing film about Dr Heike Vester and Ocean Sounds’ work. Daniel expressed that he wanted to create this video to give the work Ocean Sounds is doing for the marine ecosystem more visibility. Particularly, noise pollution is such an important, but often overlooked, issue for marine mammals and showing the people behind the work, people like Heike, who dedicate so much energy to keeping these ecosystems healthy, is something very important.On a personal note, Daniel states “We wanted to support Heike and Ocean Sounds with a high-quality video, because NGO budgets are often focused.”We therefore give many thanks to Daniel and OCEANS hope for this generous opportunity to show the work we, and especially Dr Vester, do. Heike Vester has been studying and working with the conservation of marine mammals through Ocean Sounds since 2005, and continues to do so 21 years later.
