A right whale that is one of the species last breeding females will likely die after another entanglement in fishing gear
"The politics involved, the policy involved, that cannot be brought to bear on her disentanglement," said Scott Landry, director of the Marine Animal Entanglement Response Program for the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown, which would have attempted to free gear from Snow Cone, had the weather that day been more favorable.
"We are just trying to dour best at the end of the day to add this animal back into her population so we can try to keep the population afloat," he said. Maine politicians, including the state’s Gov. Janet Mills, and Sen. Angus King, have accused conservation groups and federal rule makers of using faulty or incomplete data and evidence in their decision-making on right whale conservation, all while harming Maine’s lobster industry.
However, because federal investigators are continuing to work on Snow Cone’s case, there was nothing to respond to on this specific case.
