People are being asked by Orca Network officials to keep an eye out for an entangled, young humpback whale.
The whale was spotted northwest of Roche Harbor, off of San Juan Island.
"Given the type of entanglement and the weather and high seas, for now the disentanglement team plans to try to monitor the whale until the weather clears," officials with Orca Network wrote. "If you see this whale please call the Whale Entanglement hotline immediately at 1-877-SOS-WHALE (1-877-767-9425)."
Officials with Orca Network said in the image of the whale, a wad of green netting is visible on the tip of the whale's rostrum and a green line can be seen coming out of its mouth and draped over its pectoral fin.
Howard Garrett took the photograph while out on the Mystic Sea in Haro Strait.
