Trapped Polar Bear Saved From Fishing Net on Alaskan Island
U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists, with help from the local community of Kaktovik, successfully freed a large male polar bear that was entangled in a fishing net on a small barrier island in the Beaufort Sea off Alaska. Biologists first darted the polar bear from helicopters. Once sedated the biologists worked to quickly untangle the bear from the net and after determining it appeared uninjured from its ordeal, released it back into the wild.
We really need a business that goes into the ocean that is supported by every country on this planet to clean our oceans. This is only a small percentage that we're seeing that are tangled in fishing gear. We need ships that start in the Indian ocean as the problem there is as big as Texas. It would be great if cities along our coast pay people by the pound for cleaning our beaches. We all live on this planet and we all need to clean it up both on land and in our oceans.
