Consider two early exchanges, in which Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., went back to back in grilling Stumpf, with Maloney taking Stumpf to task over his personal financial gains, and McHenry asking about the bank's culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing began at 10 a.m. ET and ended around 2:30 p.m.; we've isolated those exchanges in the House panel's YouTube feed (and you can read them below):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtI47VHkehM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here's a sample from Maloney's portion:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. Stumpf, we know now that whistleblowers first contacted the Consumer Financial Control Board about the fraud at Wells Fargo in mid-2013. And you said in your Senate hearings last week that you first found out about the fake accounts in late 2013. And the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-wells-fargo-sale-pressure-20131222-story.html#page=1\">L.A. Times article\u003c/a> about the scandal was published in Dec. 21, 2013.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holding up a printout of a form Stumpf filed, Maloney said it \"shows that on Oct. 30, 2013, you sold $13 million worth of Wells Fargo stock on the open market. That is by far the largest open-market sale of Wells Fargo stock that you made in your nine years as CEO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ITIAqW4xOjHDtd0d74c79PtjIsXFpTtn\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So my question is: Did you dump $13 million of Wells Fargo stock, which you did through your family trust, right after you found out that your bank had been fraudulently opening hundreds of thousands of scam accounts, ripping off your customers?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Stumpf began, \"Thank you for your question. First of all, the vast majority of our employees go to work every day\" — but Maloney cut him off: \"Excuse me, that was not my question.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Maloney reiterated that the timing of the sale was \"very, very suspicious, and it raises serious questions,\" Stumpf said that he currently holds \"four times as many\" shares as he's required to hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Wells Fargo CEO eventually told Maloney, \"I sold those shares, and I sold them with proper approvals, with no view about anything that was going on with sales practices, or anything else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Maloney said, \"Well, it seems very, very suspicious that your largest sale was right after your $1.8 trillion bank was turned into a school for scoundrels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By firing thousands of lower-level employees, Stumpf shifted blame, Maloney said. Noting that some of those former employees are now suing the company, she added, \"It seems that when you found out about the fake accounts, instead of helping your customers, you first helped yourself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And here's a sample of Stumpf's exchanges with McHenry\u003c/strong>, whose home turf includes two banks that are now part of Wells Fargo — First Union and Wachovia. The bank has thousands of employees in North Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's sad to me is the impact of this on them,\" McHenry said, noting that Stumpf had trumpeted the mergers as a blend of compatible corporate cultures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McHenry then recited from Wells Fargo's code of ethics, particularly the CEO's message, which includes this line: \"We are all responsible for maintaining the highest possible ethical standards in how we conduct our business and serve our customers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The congressman noted that the code also lays out principles of accountability at every level of the bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning from the paper to face Stumpf, McHenry concluded, \"You clearly have failed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McHenry added, \"You have broken, and your company has broken, long-standing law. You've broken long-standing ethical standards that you have within your company. ... You've defrauded your customers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His frustration growing evident, McHenry asked the bank executive, \"How can you rebuild trust, and how can you get through this thing? What standards are you holding yourself to that sends a message to the rest of these folks in your organization?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his reply, Stumpf said, \"The culture of the company is strong, and I don't\" — but this time, it was McHenry who cut him off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really hard to say that when you're before Congress for the second time,\" McHenry said, \"and behind you was all the settlements you've had ... for problematic relationships you've had with your customers, by taking their money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he had earlier, Stumpf again cited the hundreds of thousands of Wells Fargo employees \"who've made their life's work and careers out of helping customers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, McHenry said, those same employees are why he's registering \"severe disappointment\" in Stumpf's leadership of the bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You broke the law. We make the law in Congress. This is not new stuff, that all of a sudden Congress changed some rules, and you can't have your employees create fake accounts and take fees from customers unknowingly, unwittingly. That is, there's never in human history when that has been an ethical 'OK.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McHenry then told Stumpf, \"So for you to say that the culture is OK, this seems to me that you're just tone-deaf to this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in the hearing, Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., peppered Stumpf with questions about why he hadn't resigned or been fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can't believe some of what I'm hearing here,\" Meeks said at the start of his allotted time, midway through the hearing. He then listed a string of steep fines and penalties that Wells Fargo has paid under Stumpf's leadership — including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/wells-fargo-bank-agrees-pay-12-billion-improper-mortgage-lending-practices\">$1.2 billion the bank agreed to pay\u003c/a> earlier this year for its mortgage practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have a chart here that shows you've been penalized almost systematically, every year since you have been in charge,\" Meeks said, noting that Stumpf has been Wells' CEO since 2007 and its chairman and CEO since 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Answering Meeks' charge that \"there's no responsibility,\" Stumpf replied by saying something he said several times Thursday: that he holds his job \"at the pleasure of the board.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then the whole board needs to go,\" Meeks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguing that Stumpf operates under a double standard, Meeks noted that Wells Fargo had fired 5,300 employees when they were found to have done wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, something is going wrong at this bank,\" the congressman added, shaking his printout of the bank's penalties as he spoke, \"and you are the head of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a later exchange, Meeks said that at Wells Fargo, Stumpf has led \"what basically has been a criminal enterprise.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his opening remarks, Stumpf had refused to accept the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/20/494738797/you-should-resign-watch-sen-elizabeth-warren-grill-wells-fargo-ceo-john-stumpf\">contentions made by Sen. Elizabeth Warren\u003c/a> and others in a Senate hearing last week — that the bank's oft-stated goal of cross-selling, or encouraging customers to open additional accounts, played a crucial role in the creation of accounts that wrongly used customers' personal and financial information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is not the case,\" Stumpf told the committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Stumpf later noted that the bank has removed sales incentives, which have been blamed as a main reason its employees created some 2 million bogus accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're catching up on this story, here's where it stands:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Wells Fargo is \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/20/494680201/wells-fargo-ceo-to-address-accounts-scandal-before-senate-panel\">paying $185 million in penalties\u003c/a> for acts that date to at least 2011. The firm says it fired some 5,300 employees who were found to have created false accounts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Carrie Tolstedt, the retiring Wells Fargo executive who led the unit that was found at fault in the scandal, created a stir when it emerged that she would be leaving the bank \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493791920/wells-fargo-units-leader-departs-with-125-million-after-group-incurs-record-fine\">with nearly $125 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Earlier this week, Wells Fargo announced that Stumpf would not receive a salary while the bank investigates the case.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The bank also said that Tolstedt is forfeiting outstanding stock awards worth about $19 million, and \"will not be paid severance or receive any retirement enhancements.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>On Monday, former Wells Fargo employees filed a class-action lawsuit seeking $2.6 billion in damages, saying they and others were fired for following the law.

Consider two early exchanges, in which Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Rep.

And you said in your Senate hearings last week that you first found out about the fake accounts in late 2013. And the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-wells-fargo-sale-pressure-20131222-story.html#page=1\">L.A. Times article\u003c/a> about the scandal was published in Dec. 21, 2013.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holding up a printout of a form Stumpf filed, Maloney said it \"shows that on Oct. 30, 2013, you sold $13 million worth of Wells Fargo stock on the open market. That is by far the largest open-market sale of Wells Fargo stock that you made in your nine years as CEO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So my question is: Did you dump $13 million of Wells Fargo stock, which you did through your family trust, right after you found out that your bank had been fraudulently opening hundreds of thousands of scam accounts, ripping off your customers?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Stumpf began, \"Thank you for your question. First of all, the vast majority of our employees go to work every day\" — but Maloney cut him off: \"Excuse me, that was not my question.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Maloney reiterated that the timing of the sale was \"very, very suspicious, and it raises serious questions,\" Stumpf said that he currently holds \"four times as many\" shares as he's required to hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Wells Fargo CEO eventually told Maloney, \"I sold those shares, and I sold them with proper approvals, with no view about anything that was going on with sales practices, or anything else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Maloney said, \"Well, it seems very, very suspicious that your largest sale was right after your $1.8 trillion bank was turned into a school for scoundrels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By firing thousands of lower-level employees, Stumpf shifted blame, Maloney said. Noting that some of those former employees are now suing the company, she added, \"It seems that when you found out about the fake accounts, instead of helping your customers, you first helped yourself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And here's a sample of Stumpf's exchanges with McHenry\u003c/strong>, whose home turf includes two banks that are now part of Wells Fargo — First Union and Wachovia. The bank has thousands of employees in North Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's sad to me is the impact of this on them,\" McHenry said, noting that Stumpf had trumpeted the mergers as a blend of compatible corporate cultures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McHenry then recited from Wells Fargo's code of ethics, particularly the CEO's message, which includes this line: \"We are all responsible for maintaining the highest possible ethical standards in how we conduct our business and serve our customers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The congressman noted that the code also lays out principles of accountability at every level of the bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning from the paper to face Stumpf, McHenry concluded, \"You clearly have failed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McHenry added, \"You have broken, and your company has broken, long-standing law. You've broken long-standing ethical standards that you have within your company. ... You've defrauded your customers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His frustration growing evident, McHenry asked the bank executive, \"How can you rebuild trust, and how can you get through this thing? What standards are you holding yourself to that sends a message to the rest of these folks in your organization?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his reply, Stumpf said, \"The culture of the company is strong, and I don't\" — but this time, it was McHenry who cut him off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really hard to say that when you're before Congress for the second time,\" McHenry said, \"and behind you was all the settlements you've had ... for problematic relationships you've had with your customers, by taking their money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he had earlier, Stumpf again cited the hundreds of thousands of Wells Fargo employees \"who've made their life's work and careers out of helping customers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, McHenry said, those same employees are why he's registering \"severe disappointment\" in Stumpf's leadership of the bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You broke the law. We make the law in Congress. This is not new stuff, that all of a sudden Congress changed some rules, and you can't have your employees create fake accounts and take fees from customers unknowingly, unwittingly. That is, there's never in human history when that has been an ethical 'OK.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McHenry then told Stumpf, \"So for you to say that the culture is OK, this seems to me that you're just tone-deaf to this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in the hearing, Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., peppered Stumpf with questions about why he hadn't resigned or been fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can't believe some of what I'm hearing here,\" Meeks said at the start of his allotted time, midway through the hearing. He then listed a string of steep fines and penalties that Wells Fargo has paid under Stumpf's leadership — including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/wells-fargo-bank-agrees-pay-12-billion-improper-mortgage-lending-practices\">$1.2 billion the bank agreed to pay\u003c/a> earlier this year for its mortgage practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have a chart here that shows you've been penalized almost systematically, every year since you have been in charge,\" Meeks said, noting that Stumpf has been Wells' CEO since 2007 and its chairman and CEO since 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Answering Meeks' charge that \"there's no responsibility,\" Stumpf replied by saying something he said several times Thursday: that he holds his job \"at the pleasure of the board.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then the whole board needs to go,\" Meeks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguing that Stumpf operates under a double standard, Meeks noted that Wells Fargo had fired 5,300 employees when they were found to have done wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, something is going wrong at this bank,\" the congressman added, shaking his printout of the bank's penalties as he spoke, \"and you are the head of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a later exchange, Meeks said that at Wells Fargo, Stumpf has led \"what basically has been a criminal enterprise.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his opening remarks, Stumpf had refused to accept the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/20/494738797/you-should-resign-watch-sen-elizabeth-warren-grill-wells-fargo-ceo-john-stumpf\">contentions made by Sen. Elizabeth Warren\u003c/a> and others in a Senate hearing last week — that the bank's oft-stated goal of cross-selling, or encouraging customers to open additional accounts, played a crucial role in the creation of accounts that wrongly used customers' personal and financial information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is not the case,\" Stumpf told the committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Stumpf later noted that the bank has removed sales incentives, which have been blamed as a main reason its employees created some 2 million bogus accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And now, one less: This weekend, one of the 45-ton creatures was found dead off the coast of Maine, completely entangled in fishing line — head, flippers and all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was not an isolated incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late June, an\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-blue-whale-rescue-coast-entangled-20160628-snap-story.html\"> endangered blue whale\u003c/a> wrapped in fishing gear was seen struggling off the coast of Dana Point in Southern California. Rescuers were unable to extricate it before it swam away. And earlier this month, rescuers unsuccessfully tried to free an\u003ca href=\"http://www.ocregister.com/articles/whale-729059-entangled-humpback.html\"> entangled humpback\u003c/a> whale near Newport. Spotters say they believe the humpback eventually found its way free of most of the gear, though they're unsure if there's anything still trapped in its mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While any kind of fishing gear can be lost or abandoned at sea, gillnets, crab pots and traps are the most common types that continue to \"ghost fish\" — entrapping marine animals like whales, seals, sea lions and sea turtles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the West Coast saw 61 whale entanglements — \u003ca href=\"http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/fisheries/pdfs/NMFS_3-21-2016_entaglements.pdf\">a record number\u003c/a> that is nonetheless likely to be broken this year. So far in 2016, there have been 60 reports of entanglements as of late September. Why it's happening is unclear. Researchers say there's more derelict gear in the water today, and more reported sightings, but population numbers and migratory patterns of whales have also shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happens when a whale becomes entangled is grim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The gear is really, really heavy and when a whale comes in contact with it, it thrashes around to shed the gear,\" says Kristen Monsell, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity. Sometimes that works; sometimes it entangles the whale even further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes it can drown the whale immediately, or it can happen over weeks, because they get so tired,\" she says. \"They eventually die of exhaustion. If the gear is in their mouths, it impedes their ability to feed. It can amputate their tails or other parts of the body. And for younger whales, the gear may wrap around them, but the whale keeps growing and it cuts into their flesh.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat the problem, Gov. Jerry Brown signed \u003ca href=\"http://sd02.senate.ca.gov/news/2016-09-23-governor-brown-signs-mcguire%E2%80%99s-whale-protection-bill\">The Whale Protection & Crab Gear Retrieval Act\u003c/a> into law on Friday. A first of its kind for the state, the new law is designed to reduce the number of whales caught in fishing gear by creating financial incentives for the state's Dungeness and rock crab fishermen to collect any abandoned gear they find during the offseason. An \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/FEP_FINAL.pdf\">estimated\u003c/a> 40,000 Dungeness crab pots may be lost every year between California and the Canadian border. And that's just one fishery in one region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But until now, plucking lost gear out of California waters was illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was an existing law that made it unlawful to move, damage or disturb any trap that belongs to another person. And you [couldn't] have gear on your boat outside of the season,\" says Monsell, a member of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.opc.ca.gov/webmaster/ftp/project_pages/whale-entanglement/Charter2016.pdf\">fishing gear group\u003c/a> that worked on strategies to reduce whale entanglements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11108041\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d-800x1115.jpg\" alt=\"A ghost net, entangling 17 deceased sea turtles, was discovered days after a storm off the coast of Bahia, Brazil.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1115\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11108041\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d-800x1115.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d-400x558.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d-960x1338.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d.jpg 1074w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A ghost net, entangling 17 deceased sea turtles, was discovered days after a storm off the coast of Bahia, Brazil. \u003ccite>(Projeto Tamar Brazil/Marine Photobank/Courtesy of World Animal Protection)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Unlike many other types of fishing gear, crab pots are traceable to the owner. Fishermen who collect abandoned gear in the offseason will be paid a recovery bounty by the owner who lost the trap. Fishermen who do not buy back their lost or abandoned traps will not be allowed to get their vessel permit for the following season. In California, the Dungeness crab season typically runs Nov. 15-June 30, although last year's season was delayed because of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/07/455049713/why-a-neurotoxin-is-closing-crab-season-in-california\">a toxic algae bloom\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're doing everything we can,\" says longtime crabber Larry Collins, president of the Crab Boat Owners Association in San Francisco. \"Three or four years ago we got trap limits. No one can throw more than 500 traps. We've decreased the gear in the water, and we're looking at that again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washington and Oregon also have postseason recovery programs, but unlike California's, fishermen are allowed to keep or sell the gear they retrieve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all entanglements come from abandoned or lost gear. Whales can be caught up in active fishing gear, too, especially when changing ocean conditions move prey, like schools of anchovies, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Unusual-Number-of-Whales-Seen-in-San-Francisco-Bay-379273711.html\">closer to shore\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Entanglements are a hard issue. When you have a whale, you don't know if it's active or abandoned fishing gear,\" says Sherry Lippiatt, California Regional Coordinator, NOAA Marine Debris Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The West Coast isn't alone in being a problem spot. It's estimated there are more than \u003ca href=\"http://myfwc.com/research/saltwater/crustaceans/lobster/fishery/trap-debris/\">85,000 derelict traps\u003c/a> in the Florida Keys, affecting 79 species and killing 630,000 lobsters a year.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was not an isolated incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late June, an\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-blue-whale-rescue-coast-entangled-20160628-snap-story.html\"> endangered blue whale\u003c/a> wrapped in fishing gear was seen struggling off the coast of Dana Point in Southern California. Rescuers were unable to extricate it before it swam away. And earlier this month, rescuers unsuccessfully tried to free an\u003ca href=\"http://www.ocregister.com/articles/whale-729059-entangled-humpback.html\"> entangled humpback\u003c/a> whale near Newport. Spotters say they believe the humpback eventually found its way free of most of the gear, though they're unsure if there's anything still trapped in its mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While any kind of fishing gear can be lost or abandoned at sea, gillnets, crab pots and traps are the most common types that continue to \"ghost fish\" — entrapping marine animals like whales, seals, sea lions and sea turtles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the West Coast saw 61 whale entanglements — \u003ca href=\"http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/fisheries/pdfs/NMFS_3-21-2016_entaglements.pdf\">a record number\u003c/a> that is nonetheless likely to be broken this year. So far in 2016, there have been 60 reports of entanglements as of late September. Why it's happening is unclear. Researchers say there's more derelict gear in the water today, and more reported sightings, but population numbers and migratory patterns of whales have also shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happens when a whale becomes entangled is grim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The gear is really, really heavy and when a whale comes in contact with it, it thrashes around to shed the gear,\" says Kristen Monsell, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity. Sometimes that works; sometimes it entangles the whale even further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes it can drown the whale immediately, or it can happen over weeks, because they get so tired,\" she says. \"They eventually die of exhaustion. If the gear is in their mouths, it impedes their ability to feed. It can amputate their tails or other parts of the body. And for younger whales, the gear may wrap around them, but the whale keeps growing and it cuts into their flesh.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat the problem, Gov. Jerry Brown signed \u003ca href=\"http://sd02.senate.ca.gov/news/2016-09-23-governor-brown-signs-mcguire%E2%80%99s-whale-protection-bill\">The Whale Protection & Crab Gear Retrieval Act\u003c/a> into law on Friday. A first of its kind for the state, the new law is designed to reduce the number of whales caught in fishing gear by creating financial incentives for the state's Dungeness and rock crab fishermen to collect any abandoned gear they find during the offseason. An \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/FEP_FINAL.pdf\">estimated\u003c/a> 40,000 Dungeness crab pots may be lost every year between California and the Canadian border. And that's just one fishery in one region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But until now, plucking lost gear out of California waters was illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was an existing law that made it unlawful to move, damage or disturb any trap that belongs to another person. And you [couldn't] have gear on your boat outside of the season,\" says Monsell, a member of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.opc.ca.gov/webmaster/ftp/project_pages/whale-entanglement/Charter2016.pdf\">fishing gear group\u003c/a> that worked on strategies to reduce whale entanglements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11108041\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d-800x1115.jpg\" alt=\"A ghost net, entangling 17 deceased sea turtles, was discovered days after a storm off the coast of Bahia, Brazil.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1115\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11108041\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d-800x1115.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d-400x558.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d-960x1338.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/ghost-fishing-2_enl-206ec1ff00a7c23481ec6741b6ebff93bfcc792d.jpg 1074w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A ghost net, entangling 17 deceased sea turtles, was discovered days after a storm off the coast of Bahia, Brazil. \u003ccite>(Projeto Tamar Brazil/Marine Photobank/Courtesy of World Animal Protection)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Unlike many other types of fishing gear, crab pots are traceable to the owner. Fishermen who collect abandoned gear in the offseason will be paid a recovery bounty by the owner who lost the trap. Fishermen who do not buy back their lost or abandoned traps will not be allowed to get their vessel permit for the following season. In California, the Dungeness crab season typically runs Nov. 15-June 30, although last year's season was delayed because of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/07/455049713/why-a-neurotoxin-is-closing-crab-season-in-california\">a toxic algae bloom\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're doing everything we can,\" says longtime crabber Larry Collins, president of the Crab Boat Owners Association in San Francisco. \"Three or four years ago we got trap limits. No one can throw more than 500 traps. We've decreased the gear in the water, and we're looking at that again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washington and Oregon also have postseason recovery programs, but unlike California's, fishermen are allowed to keep or sell the gear they retrieve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all entanglements come from abandoned or lost gear. Whales can be caught up in active fishing gear, too, especially when changing ocean conditions move prey, like schools of anchovies, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Unusual-Number-of-Whales-Seen-in-San-Francisco-Bay-379273711.html\">closer to shore\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Entanglements are a hard issue. When you have a whale, you don't know if it's active or abandoned fishing gear,\" says Sherry Lippiatt, California Regional Coordinator, NOAA Marine Debris Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The West Coast isn't alone in being a problem spot. It's estimated there are more than \u003ca href=\"http://myfwc.com/research/saltwater/crustaceans/lobster/fishery/trap-debris/\">85,000 derelict traps\u003c/a> in the Florida Keys, affecting 79 species and killing 630,000 lobsters a year.

And it looks like the next president, plus Congress, will have to decide whether this \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/content/what-is-nasa-s-asteroid-redirect-mission\">human mission\u003c/a> to a flying rock should ever get off the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of visiting an asteroid goes back to 2010, when President Obama went to Kennedy Space Center in Florida to lay out his new plan for space exploration. He said he wanted astronauts to eventually land on Mars, and that the first steps would be to send astronauts out beyond the moon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll start by sending astronauts to an asteroid, for the first time in history,” he \u003ca href=\"http://www.nasa.gov/about/obama_ksc_pod.html\">told\u003c/a> the NASA workers. “By the mid-2030s, I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth. And a landing on Mars will follow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trouble is, flying people to an asteroid turned out to be really hard. The trip would take months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So NASA settled on a slightly different \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/04/12/176798246/in-nasas-budget-plans-to-shrink-wrap-an-asteroid\">plan\u003c/a>, called the Asteroid Redirect Mission. The agency would send a robot out to retrieve an asteroid and bring it close to the moon. That way, the astronauts could study it in lunar orbit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t sending people to an asteroid; it was bringing an asteroid to people. But you were still demonstrating some of the technologies that NASA wanted to demonstrate as part of its long-term goal of sending humans to Mars,” explains \u003ca href=\"http://www.spacepolicyonline.com/contributors/marcia-smith\">Marcia Smith\u003c/a>, a space policy analyst and consultant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was difficult to find a small asteroid to target, and that mission seemed too daunting. “They ultimately made the decision to not move an entire asteroid, but just pluck a boulder from the asteroid’s surface, and bring the boulder to the astronauts,” Smith says. “That is the current plan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a robot venture out tens of millions of miles, grab a multi-ton, car-sized boulder and then drag it to the moon, plus sending people up to study this rock, will cost something like $2 billion. That’s a hefty price tag, and some question whether this mission really makes sense, given NASA’s limited budget for human space exploration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If your long term goal is to go to Mars, do you need to spend $2 billion doing this mission?” Smith says. “Or can you spend it better doing other things?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NASA \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasa.gov/content/how-will-nasas-asteroid-redirect-mission-help-humans-reach-mars\">says\u003c/a> that when a crew flies up in the mid-2020s to rendezvous with this hunk of asteroid orbiting the moon, it will be a clear step forward — toward putting people on Mars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_982237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-982237\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/09/asteroid-2_NPR.jpg\" alt=\"An astronaut in this artist's conception prepares to investigate the asteroid boulder.

The robotic spacecraft would hover near the asteroid for a while, using the tiny force of its gravity to tug the asteroid onto a different path. Seeing how well this works could reveal whether that’s a viable strategy for protecting our planet from any dangerous space rocks that astronomers determine are on a collision course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Speaking of collisions, NASA says that moving around a big boulder in space poses no risk to Earth, because even if there was some kind of unlikely accident, a rock this size would be expected to burn up in our atmosphere.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once astronauts met up with the captured asteroid boulder in lunar orbit, they could gather samples of the big rock to bring home. Gates says they’ll be able to retrieve more material than the fully robotic \u003ca href=\"http://www.asteroidmission.org/\">OSIRIS-REx\u003c/a> mission that just launched.

It's the epicenter of the refugee crisis,\" Johnson tried to regroup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"OK. Got it,\" Johnson said, falling back on libertarian principles of limited foreign engagement. \"Well, with regard to Syria, I do think that it's a mess. And I think the only way that we deal with Syria is to join hands with Russia to diplomatically bring that at an end. But when we've aligned ourselves with, when we've supported the opposition, the Free Syrian Army, the Free Syrian Army is also coupled with the Islamists, and then the fact that we're also supporting the Kurds. And this is – it's just a mess,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do understand Aleppo,\" he continued later in the interview. \"And I understand the crisis that is going on. But when we involve ourselves militarily, when we involve ourselves in these humanitarian issues, we end up with a situation that in most cases is not better and in many cases ends up being worse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson also suggested that the war in Syria is the result of a U.S.-backed effort at regime change. While President Obama argues that Syrian President Bashar Assad should be removed from power through diplomatic means, the administration has avoided military action directed at the regime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson's later tried to explain: \"This morning, I began my day by setting aside any doubt that I'm human. Yes, I understand the dynamics of the Syrian conflict — I talk about them every day,\" Johnson said in a statement, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/gary-johnson-explains-aleppo-227878#ixzz4Jfr96unY\" target=\"_blank\">as reported by Politico\u003c/a>. \"But hit with 'What about Aleppo?' I immediately was thinking about an acronym, not the Syrian conflict. I blanked. It happens, and it will happen again during the course of this campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson also acknowledged the interview was a black eye for his campaign, which is currently drawing support from nine percent of the public, according to an average of polls compiled by Real Clear Politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel horrible,\" Johnson told Mark Halperin of Bloomberg Politics. \"I have to get smarter, and that's just part of the process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton briefly addressed the flub Thursday morning in response to a question from a reporter. \"Well, you can look at the map and find Aleppo,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Aleppo\" quickly trended nationally on Twitter, with many criticizing the candidate's misstep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein have attracted unusual attention for third-party candidates this year, as many voters seek an alternative to the Republican and Democratic standard-bearers, both of whom are saddled with high unfavorable ratings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stein also garnered headlines this week while taking part in a demonstration against a controversial oil pipeline in North Dakota.

It's the epicenter of the refugee crisis,\" Johnson tried to regroup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"OK. Got it,\" Johnson said, falling back on libertarian principles of limited foreign engagement. \"Well, with regard to Syria, I do think that it's a mess. And I think the only way that we deal with Syria is to join hands with Russia to diplomatically bring that at an end. But when we've aligned ourselves with, when we've supported the opposition, the Free Syrian Army, the Free Syrian Army is also coupled with the Islamists, and then the fact that we're also supporting the Kurds. And this is – it's just a mess,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do understand Aleppo,\" he continued later in the interview. \"And I understand the crisis that is going on. But when we involve ourselves militarily, when we involve ourselves in these humanitarian issues, we end up with a situation that in most cases is not better and in many cases ends up being worse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson also suggested that the war in Syria is the result of a U.S.-backed effort at regime change. While President Obama argues that Syrian President Bashar Assad should be removed from power through diplomatic means, the administration has avoided military action directed at the regime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson's later tried to explain: \"This morning, I began my day by setting aside any doubt that I'm human. Yes, I understand the dynamics of the Syrian conflict — I talk about them every day,\" Johnson said in a statement, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/gary-johnson-explains-aleppo-227878#ixzz4Jfr96unY\" target=\"_blank\">as reported by Politico\u003c/a>. \"But hit with 'What about Aleppo?' I immediately was thinking about an acronym, not the Syrian conflict. I blanked. It happens, and it will happen again during the course of this campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson also acknowledged the interview was a black eye for his campaign, which is currently drawing support from nine percent of the public, according to an average of polls compiled by Real Clear Politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel horrible,\" Johnson told Mark Halperin of Bloomberg Politics. \"I have to get smarter, and that's just part of the process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton briefly addressed the flub Thursday morning in response to a question from a reporter. \"Well, you can look at the map and find Aleppo,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Aleppo\" quickly trended nationally on Twitter, with many criticizing the candidate's misstep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein have attracted unusual attention for third-party candidates this year, as many voters seek an alternative to the Republican and Democratic standard-bearers, both of whom are saddled with high unfavorable ratings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stein also garnered headlines this week while taking part in a demonstration against a controversial oil pipeline in North Dakota. The local sheriff says Stein could face criminal charges for trespassing and spray-painting construction equipment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.
