Humpback whale freed from fishing gear after three-day rescue off Vancouver Island

September 12, 2025

A juvenile humpback whale nicknamed Tutu is swimming freely again after a multiday mission to disentangle it from more than 150 metres of fishing gear off Vancouver Island.

Paul Cottrell, a marine mammal co-ordinator with the federal Fisheries Department, says the rescue team received several reports from the public about the 4½-year-old whale towing a fishing buoy near Texada Island in the northern Salish Sea on Sept. 4.
