Let’s watch the story of a man who rides a whale, not for adventure, but to rescue it from the perilous grips of a fishing net.

The Right Reason

This video captures a man riding a whale.

However it is not for thrill-seeking, but for a noble cause!

The man is trying to free the animal from the entanglements of a fishing net.

This courageous individual approaches the distressed whale with careful precision.

Through his efforts he manages to remove the net and the whale was free again.

Fishing Net – A Continuous Problem

Fishing nets pose a continuous and growing threat to marine life. 

In some contexts, the fishing nets are called “ghost nets” because of the great threat they impose on marine life. 

The durability of these nets means they can last for decades underwater! Meaning that one net can cause multiple complications. 

This ongoing issue shows the urgent need for sustainable fishing practices! And further increased efforts toward ocean cleanup initiatives.
