trapped in fishing nets/lines I've seen since the beginning of the year. While I understand these may be instances over a period of time, they are still only the ones that have been rescued. Imagine how many are never rescued. I suspect this has been going on for centuries, ever since humans began using nets to fish. It's just that now with video and social networks we are seeing what happens.

So happy for the rescued turtle and the women and men who saved her.
