Number of whales trapped in fishing gear on California coast spikes | 29 April 2015 | A record number of whales are becoming ensnared in fishing gear, including a killer whale that died last week north of Fort Bragg, according to federal data released Tuesday by environmental groups. Last year, 30 whales were caught in gear, often from crab pots — double the previous year. And alarmingly, the National Marine Fisheries Service has recorded 25 such incidents already this year, with several Monterey Bay whales becoming wrapped up in ropes and other fishing equipment.
