title
Salvage of a humpback whale.
This beautiful humpback whale, 14 meters long and weighing 24 tons, asks the divers for help, so that they free it from the mesh of driftnets that oppress its body.
She couldn't swim or feed herself and she is already very weak, with her look and attitude she asks for help.
The divers help her and she collaborates by being completely still, we cut all the nets and we free her from the driftnets.
She has a new chance to live.
She gives us one last look, which we interpret as thanks, and she begins to swim out to sea, completely free of her bonds.
