Is fishing the new whaling?
Stop whales getting tangled in fishing ropes and nets on their whale migration routes.
"At least 45 whales were entangled by fishing ropes and line on the east coast in 2024, and experts are calling for better management of fishing gear in Australia to prevent marine suffering...Only about 15 whales were successfully disentangled in 2024.The constant drag of rope and floats over time slowly causes a whale to succumb to exhaustion. When they are on their migration … they would have to travel thousands of kilometres. Even the smallest float around the tail would mean, over several weeks, a loss of all energy reserves. It’s probably the worst way of dying for any marine … animal. It takes weeks to several months until they actually die."
"Preventing entanglements required better management of fishing gear."

Global fisheries must change to avoid ocean collapse, study says
“We expect the ocean to continue to perform vital ecosystem functions, like producing clean water and taking carbon out from the atmosphere and storing it in sediments,” he said. “But these are things that only can be guaranteed from healthy marine ecosystems. And what fishing is doing is destroying those ecosystems.”
