SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) â Rescuers were unsuccessful in initial efforts to cut entangling gear from a gray whale calf traveling with its mother along the Southern California coast.
The calf was spotted Monday morning by the crew of a Captain Daveâs Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari vessel near the San Clemente Pier. The vessel contacted the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administrationâs whale entanglement response team and the Pacific Marine Mammal Center.
Giselle Anderson of Captain Daveâs tells The Orange County Register that the baby appeared to be tangled in a float and line that went around its face and was possibly wrapped around a pectoral flipper.

Tell us briefly the history of your individual companies.
Kalez: Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching started in Dana Point Harbor in 1971. My father had a business called San Clemente Sport Fishing in the ’50s and ’60s, and when the harbor was built, he moved his fleet. He also started the Festival of Whales, which is the first and longest-running whale festival in the world. This is its 50th year.
