How to save the whales (like, actually)

How to save the whales (like, actually)

Can fishing gear protect whales and livelihoods? NOAA fisheries biologist Megan Amico explains how on-demand, or ropeless, lobster gear can reduce the vertical lines that entangle endangered North Atlantic right whales. The conversation follows gear testing with fishermen, seasonal closures, coastal economies, and the difficult work of designing marine conservation policy that protects both whales and fishing communities.
