Once an orca is spotted, the crew immediately cuts and anchors the line, leaving the area as quickly as possible.

Intentionally polluting the water by cutting your gear off should be illegal.

Anchoring in that context AFAIK means that you can come back later and pick it up again.

I sure hope so.
