SUP Paddlers Save Turtles Caught in Fishing Nets,  Singapore

SINGAPORE.   This morning, our regular SUP paddlers at Constant Wind Seasports and SUP School,  spotted a turtle trapped n hurt by a gillnet wrapping round it.

Hurting from the sight, they immediately tried to prevent the turtle from drowning whilst getting the Constant Wind Crew to free the turtle from the Gillnet.

In fact, this is not the 1st time such a scene was encountered in our waters.  With COVID situation changing the lifestyle, more locals are taking to recreation fishing as an alternative to overseas travel.

Refer to other article reported in May this year (https://mothership.sg/2021/05/gill-net-pulau-hantu-removed/).

Let us spread the word and keep our waters safe for the marine life while we enjoy our water sport too.
