Whale Entangled in Fishing Gear

A humpback whale carcass, tangled in fishing rope, washed ashore in Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland, sparking a logistical and environmental dilemma. Town mayor Tammy Oliver is coordinating with provincial and federal officials to decide whether to sink it at sea, relocate it to a remote cove, or find another eco-friendly disposal method — all while avoiding landfill. The whale was spotted floating in the harbor before wind carried it to shore. With Fisheries and Oceans Canada on standby to assess the gear involved, the small coastal town of 2,600 is weighing every option as nature delivers an unexpected, massive challenge right to their doorstep.
