Description

In March, a sperm whale washed up on a beach near the Isle of Skye wrapped up in rope. In this episode, we delve into entanglement of large ocean creatures with Ellie Maclennan of the Scottish Entanglement Alliance. This is a difficult topic, but one with a very simple solution currently being trialled which could massively reduce the incidence of entanglement overnight.
