Making Time: Canada's whale rescue team
Mackie Greene, Moira Brown and Jerry Conway are the Campobello Island Whale Rescue team.
Their mission is to disentangle whales that get caught in fishermen's gear and nets around the Bay of Fundy off the east coast of Canada.
The team work entirely on a voluntary basis, leaping to action on specialised rescue boats when they are called upon by local fishermen.
They describe the challenges - and rewards - of their work.
