Summary

72% Informative

Since 2007 , at least 922 humpback whales have been maimed or killed by ropes used to pull up crab cages.

Fisherman Brand Little is using a high-tech system that involves a remote-controlled pop-up balloon-like device that signals the crab cage to head to the ocean's surface.

Little is given permission by the state to fish when some others cannot because of his use of the device.
