August 7, 2019 — The Center for Coastal Studies’ Marine Animal Entanglement Response Team freed an entangled minke whale last Thursday off Rockport and saved it from a great white shark.
The 18-foot whale was anchored by gear with rope through its mouth and around its tail.
The whale had a deep cut from the rope and minor bleeding had attracted a great white.
