Reaching out today for a better tomorrow

Just found two turtles in a net(both hawksbill) coming back from SMB. They were trapped in some fishing nets which were in a field of junk! The biggest we estimate to be around 60 and the small one was juvinile! They were both covered in barnicles and we doubt the large one will survive! But you never know!! They have been taken the burj aquarium and been put in a fresh water tank to kill all of the barnicles and then they will be given anti biotics; and obce they have hopefully survived all of this they will then be releaced back into the wild!!!!!

Unfortunately the big loggerhead turtle died last night...the baby hawksbill is still fighting for his life and will hopefully survive.Just another good example of how bad gost nets and trash in the ocean is!
