Les enchev\u00eatrements d'animaux marins se produisent lorsque des engins de p\u00eache ou des d\u00e9bris marins s'enroulent autour d'un animal, l'alourdissant ou limitant ses mouvements. L'enchev\u00eatrement des engins de p\u00eache est un probl\u00e8me mondial qui touche plus de 260 esp\u00e8ces aquatiques, dont des mammif\u00e8res marins, des tortues de mer et des oiseaux de mer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you\u2019re a diver or a dolphin, a shark or a seabird, any entanglement can pose serious risks and become life-threatening. Our dive training helps us remain calm and signal for help, but animals often face a slow and painful death by drowning, starvation, or systemic infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The case of Snow Cone, a North Atlantic right whale, and her calf is a poignant example of entanglement\u2019s long-term impacts. When she was first spotted off the Massachusetts coast in March 2021, Snow Cone already needed help. A team of trained experts were unable to remove all the gear, some of which was deeply embedded in her jaw. In December 2021, while still partially entangled, Snow Cone gave birth. Fewer than 100 breeding females remain, so this birth was cause for celebration and increased the need to quickly disentangle her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Plusieurs tentatives de sauvetage courageuses pour d\u00e9m\u00ealer Snow Cone se sont av\u00e9r\u00e9es vaines en raison des conditions dangereuses dues au mauvais temps. Les derni\u00e8res images de cette m\u00e8re l\u00e9viathan et de son petit encore d\u00e9pendant datent du 22 septembre 2022 et montrent un Snow Cone \u00e9maci\u00e9, presque immobile \u00e0 la surface et couvert de poux de mer. Le baleineau se frotte doucement \u00e0 sa m\u00e8re, qui est incapable de r\u00e9pondre ou d'allaiter son b\u00e9b\u00e9. Selon la National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, il reste moins de 350 de ces gentils g\u00e9ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The long-term effects of entanglement include deteriorating health, fatigue, decreased reproductive ability, and starvation. It can also result in deformity or amputation. One well-known entanglement story involves a dolphin named Winter, who became entangled in crab fishing pot gear in Indian River Lagoon, Florida. Winter suffered ischemic necrosis and lost her tail fluke over several months during rehabilitative care. Two films about her rescue and prosthetic tail helped increase public awareness and brought much-needed rescue resources to Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast region and the entire state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The International Whaling Commission estimates that globally 300,000 whales, dolphins, and porpoises die from entanglements each year, and NOAA\u2019s National Marine Fisheries Service has identified entanglement as the leading cause of death for large whales in the U.S. The effects of fishing gear interactions are among the most pressing issues that U.S. marine mammal management agencies are currently addressing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How do we solve the problem of entanglements, and what do we do when we witness a marine animal in distress? Public awareness is crucial, especially within the diving, boating, and ocean conservation communities. Knowing who to call is a significant part of that awareness. First, don\u2019t take risks, and don\u2019t push a stranded animal off the beach. Instead, immediately contact your local stranding network organization. A list of network resources is available at fisheries.noaa.gov\/report<\/a><\/em>. You can also report injured marine wildlife by using the Whale Alert app (iOS and Android) or NOAA\u2019s Dolphin and Whale 911 app (iOS), or by calling NOAA\u2019s National Enforcement Hotline at 800-853-1864.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Les strat\u00e9gies de gestion potentielles comprennent l'interdiction d'activit\u00e9s de p\u00eache sp\u00e9cifiques ou l'imposition de restrictions saisonni\u00e8res. Des technologies telles que les pi\u00e8ges sans fil ou les dispositifs de dissuasion acoustiques pourraient toutefois permettre d'att\u00e9nuer l'impact des enchev\u00eatrements sur la faune marine. En fin de compte, c'est \u00e0 nous de jouer. Les campagnes de sensibilisation du public destin\u00e9es \u00e0 tous les usagers de la mer peuvent se concentrer sur les actions visant \u00e0 pr\u00e9venir l'enchev\u00eatrement, telles que l'utilisation de pratiques de p\u00eache plus s\u00fbres et le soutien de programmes de conservation des oc\u00e9ans tels que Dive Against Debris (Plong\u00e9e contre les d\u00e9bris) pour signaler, r\u00e9duire et retirer les d\u00e9bris marins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a stranding coordinator and rehabilitation specialist for more than four decades, I\u2019ve seen my share of entangled animals. As with any emergency, the sooner someone notifies us of an animal in distress, the better its chances of survival. Responding to entangled animals, especially enormous whales, is inherently dangerous. While many people empathize with the animals and want to help, untrained members of the public should never attempt to free entangled dolphins, whales, or manatees. The best way to help is by monitoring the animal and reporting the situation using the previously mentioned resources or to a local state wildlife agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour plus d'informations sur les enchev\u00eatrements de mammif\u00e8res marins, veuillez consulter le site suivant fisheries.noaa.gov\/insight\/entanglement-marine-life-risks-and-response<\/a><\/em>.
