Ed Lyman, a resource protection specialist from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, explains the process of tagging debris entangled on the whale to crew members from Coast Guard Station Maui while aboard a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium offshore Maui, Nov. 4, 2015. One of the roles the Coast Guard plays in disentanglement is tagging the debris with tracking equipment so that trained responders can track the whale’s movement and determine the best course of action for removing the entanglement.
