DOC对试图营救的未受过训练的个人提出警告,并敦促公众立即向24小时热线报告目击情况。 DOC warned against untrained individuals attempting rescues and urged the public to report sightings immediately to its 24-hour hotline. Craypot线是一个共同的威胁,特别是在6月和7月座头鲸迁徙期间,它促使深海捕鲸委员会建议尽量减少松懈线,避免在高峰迁徙期间部署罐头。 Craypot lines are a common threat, especially during humpback whale migration in June and July, prompting DOC to recommend minimizing line slack and avoiding pot deployment during peak migration periods.
