PHUKET:-- A large green sea turtle found tangled in a fishing net of a local fisherman in waters off Kingkaew Soi 2 in Rassada last night has been safely released back to the sea.

 

Niyom Sawangkiri, former village chief of the Kingkaew community, reported that the turtle was found by a local fisherman, who he named only as “Pong”.

 

“He saw the turtle was stuck in the fishing net, so he dragged it ahore and cut the net off,” Mr Niyom said.
