Helping Hand

Though skittish of boats and human activity, harbor porpoises get strangely calm once they feel a diver's arm around them. As the seine is slowly pursed together, rescue swimmers dive down to a porpoise caught in the net's folds and carry it to a waiting skiff that will take it outside the weir. "They're small, warm-blooded animals making a living in a cold, inhospitable environment," says Duke University biologist Andy Read. "We'd like to know more about these enigmatic animals."
