Originally mistaken for a lobster buoy, the endangered sea turtle was found with its neck and extremities bound in fishing line, covered in algae, and with a severely inflamed front and rear flipper (possibly from crab and other sea life nibbling), showing signs the turtle was trapped for a significant amount of time.
Retrieve your fishing line. There are fishing line recycling bins located at popular fishing spots.
