ENTANGLED is about how climate change has accelerated a collision between one of the world’s most endangered species and North America’s most valuable fishery.
Excited to learn that our new @Entangled_Film just won Best Feature Film at the International Wildlife Film Festival, which @IntlWldFilmFest projected on a building last night in downtown Missoula, Mont. Watch the film here: https://t.co/JCT5WClIYR
What a great night to celebrate with the great team who made @Entangled_Film. We didn't win the Emmy, but we sure did have fun. Thank you @worldchannel and @GBH for inviting us all, and for everything you did to share our film with the world.
Worth listening to for an update on the conflict between the lobster industry and the conservation community to protect North Atlantic right whales.

After years of doubts, hopes grow that nuclear fusion is finally for real and could help address climate change https://t.co/Nqa1U2HpHl via @BostonGlobe
To be clear, while brave and hopefully helpful, this was extremely dangerous and very much illegal. You need a federal permit to get this close to a right whale and do this kind of work.
The moment when this #FLORIDAMAN, a real estate broker from Jacksonville, used a knife to cut what appears to be fishing rope off a severely entangled right whale.
With a knife and kayak, Florida Man removes some rope from Snow Cone, the severely entangled right whale that just gave birth to a new calf.

Snow Cone has been entangled since at least earlier this year. "Based on that and the general health assessments, the prevailing thought is that it's not immediately life threatening," the source said.
But she added that the "general opinion is that the lines are short enough that the calf likely won't become entangled, if everything remains the same."
"There are two heavy ropes/lines coming out of the left side of its mouth," one NOAA official told me.
Thankfully, the calf is not entangled, "but has been observed swimming in/through/around the lines, she said: adding: "Very nerve wracking to watch."
