A juvenile turtle entangled in a woven plastic sack was rescued in rough seas in Marsalforn by Atlantis Diving Centre Sascha, earning the thanks of Nature Trust.
The turtle’s situation was reported by the staff at Ristorante il Gambero – Marsalforn, leading to it being taken under the care of the new Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre for veterinary care.
Sea turtles are a protected species in Malta and cannot be harmed or captured, with volunteers having wildlife handling permits as well as training and equipment to help these creatures.
