Description
An image taken the moment of a man (Daniel) cutting a line that was tied to two Green Turtles by the fins. It is unsure wether or not this was done intentionally or by human pollution but they were seen floating out in open ocean. One turtle desperately attempted to take a breath of air while the other one was attempting to escape down deep. Each was pulling the other in opposite directions causing major damage to each others' fins (one of them had a fin that was completely severed and dangled uncontrollably by the turtle's side). With no way to track or recover these enormous turtles to the boat, in a moment of urgency, Daniel cut the line between the two, before proceeding in attempt to untie them at the fin. However they both immediately swam off in a rapid panic.
