## Resource

A young humpback whale tangled in gill nets off Alaska’s coast got a dramatic two-day rescue thanks to a coordinated team of experts and locals. With help from NOAA, the Petersburg Marine Mammal Center, Coast Guard, wildlife troopers, and even community volunteers, rescuers removed most of the netting on day one, tagged the whale for tracking, and finished the job the next day. The rescue underscores how vital public reports are—and why you should never attempt to help a distressed whale yourself. Call NOAA’s 24-hour hotline with location, number of animals, and species details, stay at least 100 yards away, and snap photos from afar. This teamwork saves lives—and reminds us that protecting marine life takes everyone. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
