Adrian and Pat Rescue Endangered Species Of Northern Right Whale from THE WILD LYFE on Vimeo.
Local Va Beach Fishermen, Captain "Pat Foster"
and Mate "Adrian Colaprete", of the "Wave Runner" charter fishing boat
based out of Ruddee Inlet, rescue endangered Northern Right Whale.
They were off the coast of Virginia Beach yesterday about 50 miles
helping a team of scientists conduct research studies offshore. Pat
spotted a whale swimming irregularly in the distance and decided to have
a closer look. The team identified the whale as an endangered species
of the Northern Right Whale and noted the whale was in serious danger.
The whale was tangled in some sort of fishing ropes or trap line and was
slowly dragging the fishing gear behind it. Pat and Adrian decided they would have to try and assess the situation a little further and find out if they could do something to help the whale. After patterning the whales movements the team decided Adrian would get in the water with the whale and take a closer look. When Adrian swam up to the whale he sensed the whale was welcoming his help and he made the decision to cut the rope tangling the whale to the line of fishing gear. After the rope was cut the tangled fishing gear sank to the bottom of the ocean and the whale swam away free.
