Humpack Whale Rescue

A member from the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)’s marine mammal rescue team works to rescue a stranded juvenile humpback whale off of Chatham, Massachusetts, on Saturday. The team worked with the Chatham harbormaster to attempt to tow the whale out of shallow water as the tide quickly came in. Initial rescue efforts were unsuccessful. The team will continue efforts on Sunday. The general public is reminded to stay back from the whale and avoid flying drones in the area, for the safety of the whale and responders. Thank you to the Chatham Harbormaster, Harwich Harbormaster, and Coast Guard Chatham for their support and efforts today. Julia Cumes/IFAW
