In late August ’02 an adult humpback whale became entangled in shark mesh off the QLD Gold Coast. The whale disappeared dragging the heavy net and was not expected to survive. Three days later the animal was relocated off Yamba in NSW with net wrapped around its head including the blowhole and a large mass of net rope and floats binding the tail stock. In a combined operation Sea World, the QLD Department of Primary Industries together with the NSW Fisheries, Marine Parks Authority and the National Parks and Wildlife Service were able to cut the material from the whale. During the operation to free the whale it was closely accompanied by three other adult humpback whales.

The National forests are targeted by the federal implementation of Agenda 21. The Wildlands Project an element of Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development) requires that over 50% of Americas land mass become off limits to ordinary human beings and off limits to resource extraction during the course of the 21st century. Information regarding the rapid closure of public trails in our national parks must be understood in this context, not only for ATVs but also hiking and equestrian purposes.
