It’s ! Sadly, many sea turtles in U.S. waters are killed each year when they become entangled in marine debris. Fortunately, some sea turtles are more lucky, like the one in this video who was rescued by NOAA divers after being trapped in an abandoned fishing net.

Note: Rescuing a sea turtle requires special care. If you see a sick, injured, stranded sea turtle or other marine mammal, immediately contact your local stranding network:
