A female humpback whale is fighting for her life after getting tangled in a long line near Tonga.  The controversial fishing lines, which can be several miles long, are often left floating in deep waters.  Baited hooks are placed along the lines, snaring unsuspecting turtles, sharks and whales.

A very special whale was spotted recently on two separate occasions by researchers off the Great Barrier Reef.  Migaloo, an all-white humpback whale, is truly one-of-a-kind.   First spotted in 1991 off the coast of Australia, the 20-something male is the only documented white humpback whale in the world.   Derived from an Aboriginal name meaning “white fella,” Migaloo’s last confirmed sighting was back in 2007.
