The recent beaching of dozens of whales off New England shows just how important it is for the government to protect marine mammals. But, each year, hundreds of whales, dolphins, and porpoises are caught and drowned in fishing gear in U.S. waters.
The Bush Administration must kick into high gear to stop this needless killing. Fishing gear such as, longlines, gillnets and trawl nets can trap and drown marine mammals. Some, such as large whales, while not immediately drowned, often swim away with portions of gear or nets wrapped around them.
