The
Maine Whale Plan was developed by the Department
of Marine Resources in collaboration with the Maine Commercial Fishing Industry.
The two main components of the Whale Plan, the
Sightings Network and the Disentanglement Network, owe their
success directly to the involvement of lobstermen, gillnetters, tuna fishermen and others who are interested in
taking a pro-active role in the effort to minimize
whale-gear interactions and entanglements.
