Thank you, this is happening to all animals of the sea. Quit dumping trash and fishing nets into their waters where they are trying to live…

The ocean lake resivors and water ways are not dumping areas for trash I am not an environmentalest but there is places for proper disposal of trash and garbage hell I would hate to be going along in my boat and have that damn net wrapped around my propeller so people be mindful keep the waters of the Earth free from garbage as well as the land there is places for garbage kudos to these men for helping this turtle and saving it from certain death

When are we going to start doing something about this waste disposal in our oceans and seeds that’s pathetic. I mean come on people. Let’s rally this shit man. Why is it that it’s OK to dump all our waste and plastic and everything else into the sea why is it OK for fisherman to cut their nets loose if they get tangled up because those nets end up wrapping up animals just like this I see animals.

I honestly think that commercial nets and long lining should be outlawed! Yes, I understand that would affect certain peoples livelihood, it's those same people who are callously discarding their trash that's killing sea life, so why should their industry be protected if they don't care about the destruction they are causing !

Poor thing. This should be a law heavily enforced. Maybe have every net marked or chipped to trace to the original owners. It's likely not realistic, but this is harming nature.

✨️First of all Thank You! Secondly, i am totally f****** mad at the person or people who thought it was acceptable to throw this/leave this netting!!! This type of action not only poses hazards to all sea life, but the very same waters these fishermen fish in for their lively hood! That looks to be maybe a professional grade netting, You'd think being a professional they would have more respect for the place they make their money!!! We the people say there is no room in society for people/professionals that continue to disrespect our oceans and these people know who they are! That Sea Turtle did not deserve to have to go thru what it did because of your Negligence! THANKS AGAIN FOR THE BIG SAVE, YOUR ALL AMAZING❣️

every net should have I'd on them all along the seams this way we know who is losing their nets at sea and can fine them accordingly...it's the only way to make fishermen accountable or we are going to see this again and again!!

What does a turtle's grateful eyes look like? How does one develope take off whole net from sea turtle skills? I'm glad the friends were swimming peacefully, otherwise wrecklessly swimming friends might have scared the sea turtle away.

What's Worse is The GPGP, The Giant Pacific Garbage Patch also known as Trash Island. It covers an estimated surface area of 1.6 million square kilometers, an area twice the size of Texas or three times the size of France. At the time of sampling, more than 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic in the patch weighed 100,000 tonnes. Much higher than previous calculations.TOTAL MASS AND COUNT100’000 tonnes of plastic is equivalent to over 740 Boeing 777’s, which is 4-16 times more than previous calculations. The center of the GPGP has the highest density and the further boundaries are the least dense.A total of 1.8 trillion plastic pieces were estimated to be floating in the patch – a plastic count that is equivalent to 250 pieces of debris for every human in the world.

You can thank the countries that don’t have the same laws as western countries. In the western world there are huge fines and sanctions imposed if your caught throwing this kinda trash into the ocean. However in India, China, and a few others they use the ocean as there garbage can

What amazing people to help this poor sea turtle! Those fishermen who dump their nets on purpose or lose their nets and don't try to retrieve them should be ashamed of themselves! Sea animals like turtles, whales, sharks, dolphins, etc. get caught in them and die! Even if they are of no use anymore, bring them back to shore and dispose of them correctly! Don't drop the nets to the sea bottom where you know that sea creatures will get tangled and die! That's not fair to them or those who love the oceans & bays along with the sealife!

l helped rescue a turtle at Honey Moon Island like 5 yrs ago. She was caught in the mud after the tide went out. Handicapped with the lost of part of one flipper she could hardly move. With the help from the park people we were able to get her down to the Clearwater aquarium where she was treated for awhile n release back into the Gulf. I know she probably would have not made it if we hadn't done something. Hope she's still doing well

a few years ago, I was in my boat and saw a turtle wrapped up in a net. I grabbed my fishing knife and jumped in. unfortunately, the turtle had passed. but I still cut it loose and took the netting out up the water so other turtles won't endure the same fate.
