Wildlife Rescue Team Malta took to social media to urge people to keep a lookout for an injured turtle which was spotted in Daħlet Qorrot in Gozo.
The turtle was showing difficulty in diving and swimming. Due to a lack of mobile reception, the people who saw it could not contact the rescue team and thus the turtle moved away with the currents.
People out at sea in the vicinity are being urged to keep an eye out for the marine creature and to call 99999505 if spotted.

Billie Eilish, Finneas, Mark Ruffalo, Ava DuVernay, Ramy Youssef, and Quannah Chasinghorse have stepped onto the Academy Awards red carpet sporting matching red lapel pins, joined by Mahershala Ali who wore one while introducing nominees for Best Supporting Actor.
These pins symbolize a call for ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict, which has seen devastating consequences with over 30,000 deaths in Gaza since October.
Over 400 celebrities, including Cate Blanchett, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Bradley Cooper, and America Ferrera, have joined Artists4Ceasefire, advocating for immediate action from the US Congress and President Joe Biden.
The pins feature a hand encircling a black heart, representing collective support for ceasefire, hostage release, and urgent humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza civilians.
In contrast to previous movements like Time’s Up, which garnered widespread visibility, the ceasefire pins have appeared on fewer stars at recent events. At the Grammys, Boygenius and Annie Lennox wore them, with Lennox even making a plea for peace onstage.
On the Oscars red carpet, Ramy Youssef expressed frustration at the sluggish progress towards peace, emphasizing the importance of vocal advocacy for ceasefire. Additionally, actors Milo Machado-Graner and Swann Arlaud wore pins featuring the Palestinian flag. The presence of these pins underscores the ongoing efforts of influential figures to bring attention to the urgency of ending the conflict.
