In this Monday, Nov. 30, 2015 photo, Capt. David Anderson of Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari in Dana Point, Calif., shows a net a whale was found entangled in. Anderson was among the first to realize whale entanglements were a serious problem when his tours kept running into distressed whales. This year alone, more than 60 entangled whales have been spotted along the coast, a more than 400 percent spike over normal and a pattern that began in 2014.
