Hi all, I am writing to ask for advice/help about a poor fin whale, which has lost its tail and has been found in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Italy. You can see the whale in the following video, which has been recorded three days ago off Capo Spartivento (Reggio Calabria, Italy) https://youtu.be/mxqslemqz1s Local conservationists think it might have lost its tail after getting entangled in fishing gear or the like. They also say the whale is about 15-meter long, looks really weakened by starvation and in a desperate situation. *Does anyone know what can be done in such cases to help the whale, if anything?* I was just wondering whether anyone worldwide has just come up with some special device/solution to help whales in such sad predicaments. If you want more information, you can consider getting in touch with the local conservationist who shot the video. His contact info is available on his Blue Conservancy group website: Filippo Armonio, cell. +393283020921, info@blueconservancy.org. Many thanks for any advice or help.
