Conflict between whales and longliners causes growing concern
Tue, September 30, 2008
Posted in Alaska News

A couple of sperm whales followed at least two different boats in Chatham strait, pulling black cod off their gear. Their appearance adds more urgency to the concerns that increased interactions could be bad for both the whales and the industry.
