Green Sea Turtle Rescue

Each year, an estimated 52 tons of derelict fishing gear and other debris washes up in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, threatening the pristine ecosystem and animals like Hawaiian monk seals and sea turtles. And each year, NOAA divers travel to this remote part of the world to help remove this debris.
Last year, they were also able to rescue this green sea turtle caught in a fishing net. You can see the amazing short video of this rescue here: bit.ly/SeaTurtle-Rescue
