That is something you would not expect to see so far inland.
A 250 pound sea turtle is no small animal. How did she manage to get so far inland and how long did it take her.
It was fortunate she was found in time. As an adult female, she could could go on and lay a whole clutch of eggs.
Let us wish her every success in the future.]]>

Even one new calf is a cause for celebration. The Southern resident Orcas and endangered. There are only 75 left in three different pods.
This is the second calf spotted this year, the first one being labelled L 129. The labelling may be precise, but it is a little clinical.

Good news, the law now requires boats to stay away by 1000 meters. Previously they could go as close as 400 meters.]]>

There are tons of lost fishing gear in the oceans. The loss of life is tragic. A single net kills hundreds of creatures and many nets are lost each year.
Discarded catches also result in much loss of marine life. Fishing trawlers scoop up everything, but they only keep what they can sell. The rest is not safely released back into the ocean alive. It is cast off dead back into the ocean. All the hundreds of animals that are caught by mistake are treated as garbage.
Whatever happened in Wales has a human cause. It is shocking and it needs to be stopped.]]>
