An endangered whale has become entangled in heavy fishing rope off the US coast of Georgia. Wildlife biologists had to cut away more than 280ft of the commercial fishing line which was being dragged by the whale. Clay George, a marine mammal biologist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, said this would give it "a fighting chance" to free itself. The team, including members of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, were directed to the whale by an aerial survey team and a satellite tracking buoy monitored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
