Crew members from Coast Guard Station Honolulu and NOAA participate in whale disentanglement training aboard a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium and a 29-foot Response Boat-Small offshore Oahu, Nov. 10, 2015. Floating buoys dragging behind the boat serve as entangled debris allowing personnel a moving target to practice throwing a grappling hook and attached tracker. Station Honolulu and NOAA conduct annual whale disentanglement training to ensure personnel can properly respond to and assist entangled whales near Oahu.
