NOAA released a new report that stated the number of incidences of whale entanglement in US waters for 2016 and 2017. The results of the report show there was not an overall change in reported whale entanglements between the years; however, certain areas showed an increase while others decreased.
I go through the important parts of the report as highlighted in a Mongabay article with a focus on what the future looks like for whale entanglements.
