A series of two workshops were developed, one focused on entanglement mitigation strategies to ultimately prevent or minimize the entanglement potential for humpbacks transiting through the coastal waters of Zanzibar, the second workshop was focused on training and equipping a local select team of fishermen to safely and effectively respond to entangled whales and cut them free from their entangling gear. I developed the curriculum and presented the materials with a local translator. Show less
