@divedivelive: I know many of you asked why I didn’t cut the line myself. The answer is simple: the safest way to help an entangled sea turtle is to call trained professionals. What looked like a simple fishing line turned into two bobbers, five swivels, braided line, monofilament line, and injuries that had already begun to scar. Huge thank you to @The Marine Institute for responding so quickly and for allowing us to share this rescue. All rescue footage in this video was provided by The Marine Institute. If you’re able, please consider supporting their nonprofit. Their work gives sea turtles like this a second chance. ❤️🐢 All of The Marine Institute sea turtle stranding response, rehabilitation, and research is authorized under USFWS and NOAA permits. #SeaTurtle #MarineInstitute #OceanConservation #WildlifeRescue #SaveTheTurtles

Thank you for explaining. Because I probably would’ve tried to help myself because I didn’t know any better.
