A juvenile humpback whale about 4.5m long, was entangled in a Gold Coast shark net for hours off Mermaid Beach, Gold Coast on Saturday morning 7th November.
The young whale was caught by netting around one pectoral fin, this shows the vulnerability of the whales to entanglement as they move past the shark nets.
It is the sixth whale caught in Gold Coast nets this migration season.
