PHUKET: -- Two young Hawksbill sea turtles are in the care of the Phuket Marine Biological Centre (PMBC) after a tour guide spotted trapped in a discarded fishing net south of Phuket late yesterday afternoon (Sept 5).

 

“The two turtles are receiving treatment. They have wounds on their front flippers that have become infected. We will look after them until they have fully recovered,” one PMBC official, who asked not to be named, confirmed to The Phuket News.

Excellent they were on time.

I once removed a turtle from a discarded net at Racha Noi, but unfortunately it was too late.
