PROVINCETOWN (CBS) — A Marine Animal Entanglement Response team freed an entangled humpback whale off the Provincetown coast on Saturday.
The incident happened near Stellwagen Bank, which is about five miles north of Provincetown.
A Center for Coastal Studies research team studying humpback whales found one whale was wrapped up from the mouth to the tail, according to Catherine Macort of CSS.
