Those flotation devices attached to nets should have complete identification of the net owner, name, address, phone number and fishing permit number. When incidents like this occurs, authorities could then seek out the net owner for costs of rescue and fines.

Why? if the fishermen are harvesting legally, it's not their fault that the whale got caught in the net. I don't like seeing animals suffer but I doubt the netter likes seeing animals suffer as well
They are so Majestic and she stayed close by for 4 hours because she knew you were trying to help her. Thank you to everyone who was involved.

So happy you were able to free the whale. Pity you could not find the ones responsible for the net and make them pay dearly. I live in the Caribbean where whales are still hunted using harpoon...horrific... but there is a consolation that the older generation is moving on and the younger guys don't seem to have the courage or skill.. so let us hope it would eventually stop.

Our lawmakers can put a stop to such deadly disregard by fishing companies. We need to pressure them to do so and to stop any chance anyone could pay off these lawmakers to avoid punishment!!

@@ReadwithChimey 🌿♻️🚮 Very well said, Chimey. The only way we can pressure the Congress to get busy on these very important bills is probably to shine a very bright light on how they vote or don't vote and if they keep their promises! Some would argue that C-SPAN does that, but the pace of the proceedings is deadly slow real time. If a current voting record of all members could be posted somewhere online, we could ask them, "What's going on?" This coming midterm election is so very important, I think I'll raise my solitary voice and see which of my Congress people will listen. And if you had ever spoken to my husband he would have told you a "solitary " voice (like mine?) can be hard to block out! 🙂 Take good care and have a wonderful summer. 🌲🍀🇺🇲🌲

@@diananutt1517 very well, thank you🙏🏽. You have a beautiful summer as well🙏🏽 Unfortunately leaders nowadays are merely politicians; they eschew and prevaricate on all important matters. Alas... I'm afraid for this beautiful country's future:( No matter how imperfect, THIS country is still the best in my humble opinion, and deserves so much more! Well, if each of us do our part to be kind and have reverence for our fellow earthlings and the trees that sustain life... that's pretty much the only thing that is in our control. I'll end with the quote, " “Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something.” And “something” is anything that isn’t nothing." Prayers are powerful, so let's do our part and pray that we will recognize it someday that all lives are precious, and shouldn't harm whenever we can. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🇺🇲🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
And, this was an international team. Demonstrates what we can do when humans take care of the resources (ie whale and ocean) we have been entrusted with on Earth. Way to go; beautiful!
Congratulations to all involved in freeing that magnificent animal. Thank you for freeing her and giving her her life back.
We are all animals and we have to stick together. Good Job👍🏻
Thank you for saving her
The fact that they kept at this for FOUR HOURS is awesome. That's true dedication and care for animals right there, and I applaud these people for that.
Yay! What a wonderful story! Sea of Cortez, right? I was particularly impressed by the patience and thoughtfulness you showed: to take your time and allow the whale space to feel at ease so that you could free her. This is the way forward: patience, love, humanity, all together! 🙂

Wow. You literally wouldn't have been able to stop me from getting in the water with her to calm her and look her in the eye. They're extremely intelligent.....she knew they were helping. 🥰
Been a SS supporter for years. Got to see the Farley Mowat years ago when it was docked in Marina Del Rey in Los Angeles. Excellent teamwork to free the humpback whale from the illegal net, kudos to all of the volunteers and the cooperation with the Mexican agency was great!
Well done to all involved in freeing one of nature's greatest creatures" she will remember your kindness for the rest of her days,🤗💛
You brilliant, caring, loving and freeing people. Your families will be treasured and your determination and drive inspire so many of us , the many, who would get rid of these poisonous single use materials in our natural systems. In Gaia's natural beauty. You all have my blessings y Por Diós, My God, My GAIA , she is weeping tears of joy(and disbelief at the pain she must have gone through before you arrived ).. of hope, with me at the restored faith in humanity this video and this rescue means to the generations of humpbacks who will follow from this beautiful animal.

She must have been so exhausted 😔. Shame on those throwing their fishing net in the sea as if the ocean was a trash bin.
We as humans have to do better at preventing these things from happening but so much gratitude to those who saved this beauty!
a-w-e-s-o-m-e !!!!!!!!!!!! well done everyone...you saved a WHALE! God bless you all.
It infuriates me to the core that a lot of humans are trashy and careless. The ocean isn't a trash dumpster, yet people still treat it like it is. That's the underwear creatures and mammals home. It's rare to see such wonderful people rescuing a life of the ocean and getting to see how thankful these animals are for being free from harmful human things that are sparsely littered throughout the oceans/seas. Thank you for sharing this beautiful event. These people are so amazing and their reward was to watch that gorgeous humpback whale swim free.
That was beautiful to see fellow human beings so committed to helping such a magnificent creature 💜💜💜💜💜💜 these actions give me GREAT HOPE for our PRECIOUS WORLD 🌎
A pretty rainbow at 1:23. Thank you so much for protecting and saving beautiful sea life and habitats. Very special people. So happy this beautiful whale is free.
Those smiles cost more than any rare jewels on the 🌎.... Hats off to your outstanding works guys 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎉🎉...
My heart absolutely breaks when i see stuff like this. Im so thankful to the people that do this work. True angels. It also makes me think about a friend of mine who is a pescatarian because she claims she wont eat anything but fish because of the mass production of chicken and beef snd how horrible the conditions are and yet these fishing nets are making creatures suffer too.
Well done all you caring people. The whale may not be able to say thank you, relief is wonderful. To watch you make sure she was free and unharmed was the best Monday feeling I have had in a long long time. Much love and happiness to you all.
Great job!
That fin slap at the end though!
That's wonderful what they're doing for this humpback. The marine life in our oceans have so.many struggles. Great job guy's! Free Willy!!
So AWESOME!!! The people that helped her YOU ALL ROCK!!! 🤘🏻☝🏻💪🏻👊🏻🇺🇸 Thank you for sharing & caring animal love

I'm so very glad she got free. She's a beautiful majestic creature. She should have no reason to be wrapped up in human garbage. It angers me why humans have to be so despicable. I'm so glad there's still good people in this world that helped her.

She definitely knew, she must have known. It must have felt better and better, as the drag of the net and lines reduced as they were cut away. Whales are very intelligent, and to me it looked like she deliberately kept surfacing and exposing the areas where her tiny helpers needed to cut.
Thank you all for what you do!
You guys are my kind of heroes! 🐋

So happy these people worked so long together to free this beautiful animal. Agree with other comment that all nets should have identification to track the owner and have him/her pay for the rescue costs!
