Divers and Beachgoers Rescue Animals Trapped in Fishing Nets

Lithuanian Divers and Beachgoers Rescue Animals Entangled in Fishing Nets A series of animal rescues in Lithuania has highlighted the devastating impact of marine debris on wildlife. Divers recently freed a sea turtle entangled in plastic and fishing nets off the coast. One diver described the scene: "The turtle was completely immobilized. It couldn't swim or move properly." The divers worked carefully to remove the debris without harming the turtle. Later, on a beach, two seals were found trapped in similar nets. Beachgoers used knives to cut the nets away, freeing the seals. The video concludes with footage of an elk rescue in the US, further emphasizing the global nature of this problem. Wildlife officials tranquilized the elk and removed a tire that had been around its neck for two years. These rescues serve as a stark reminder of the need for responsible waste management and sustainable fishing practices to protect marine and wildlife.
