digital watermarking or credits in the image itself. The usage of visible watermarks is

please upload it under the same file name and then
remove this template. Ensure that removed information is present in the image description page and replace this template with

{{Attribution metadata from licensed image}}. Caution: Before removing a watermark from a copyrighted image, please read
the WMF's analysis of the legal ramifications of doing so, as well as Commons'
proposed policy regarding watermarks. If the old version is still useful, for example if removing the watermark damages the image significantly, upload the new version under a different title so that both can be used.

Superseded|new filename|version without watermarks}}. Description: Show your love for the ocean by working to reduce marine debris! One of the biggest risks to humpback whales and other whales is entanglement by fishing gear and other debris. Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary leads the Hawaiian Islands Disentanglement Network, a community-based network that works to locate entangled whales and free them. In March 2017, the team removed more than 500 feet of electrical cable from this whale! You can help protect whales like this one by disposing of waste properly and participating in beach cleanups near you. Less trash in the ocean means less risks to these magnificent whales!
