Yesterday we (all 6 of us specialized guides in whale watching) finished our course set up by the secretariat of tourism .
In our last day we practiced what we had done with Mr. David Mattila 2 years ago when he came to give is a workshop bout disentangling whales from a net.
We only practiced throwing a metal tool to catch the net the whale would be carrying.
We hope never to have to disentangle a whale from a net, unfortunately every year we see whales with nets or ropes around their bodies carrying tons of extra weight during their journeys, cutting their circulation and slowing them down...
As if they didn't have enough danger in their environment already...
