@thebucketlistfamily: I need to share this powerful story with you! It’s about Wylde.photography and our amazing team of whale guides Mounuisland .. Last year in Tonga, a humpback whale got her tail tangled in a heavy chain that was anchored 70 meters to the seafloor. You can hear the heart breaking pain and struggle in her noises and breathing. 😖 When local boats radioed for help, Dickie.goddard Aaron_sydney_goddard Toby.goddard.94 and Wylde.photography rushed over with cutting tools. They could have easily cut the rope but then the whale would swim off with a chain forever stuck around it injured tail. They knew they needed to cut the chain. It’s incredible to see how the whale remained calm, allowing the divers to work carefully and steadily. I imagine the whale was both exhausted but also stressed and in intense pain, but you can also sense her immense joy and relief when she is finally released from the chains! When I first saw this footage it brought me to tears! Such a powerful reminder about our fragile relationship with wildlife and why we must keep our oceans free of human debris. I am so very grateful that this amazing family are part of the Mounuisland team. I respect and admire them so much. They are my heroes! 💙🐳💙
