As part of the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s marine team, Rhyl Frith is the Field Trial Coordinator responsible for organizing and testing acoustic on-demand and low breaking strength fishing gear - two innovative types of fishing gear that are helping prevent whales and other marine species from becoming entangled in ropes and lead lines when they pass through an area.

Join Rhyl for a deep dive into marine conservation, as we learn about the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale and explore CWF’s efforts to work collaboratively with fisheries to support their conservation through the application of new fishing technology.
