A turtle, which had already lost one flipper after getting entangled in fishing line, has been rescued from Ghajn Tuffieha bay.
A kayaker spotted the turtle, whose second flipper was also getting strangled by the fishing line and alerted Nature Trust Malta – NTM.
The graphic video shows the painstaking work to remove enough of the line to get the turtle to a vet. It will now be rehabilitated at San Lucjan.
