The Whale Release and Strandings group says the whale was last reported to them by a Marine Atlantic ferry who was it near Channel-Port-aux-Basques.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there have been some sightings of the entangled baby humpback, it\u2019s unclear where it\u2019s located now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newfoundland and Labrador Whale Release and Strandings is asking for boaters in the area to keep their eyes peeled for the whale, but do not approach it if you see it, instead call the group.
