A crisis is unfolding off the U.S. West Coast as migrating whales become entangled in Dungeness crab fishing gear. Once entangled, whales drag heavy traps and lines for weeks or months, enduring severe wounds.

These entanglements cause deep cuts, infection, and disease, making it difficult for whales to swim, feed, and breathe. This often leads to their death. Join Oceana to help protect whales from these deadly entanglements off California, Oregon, and Washington.
