Medium sized green sea turtle with FP tumors and fishing lines wrapped around the neck and front flippers.
I was able to cut away about 60% of the line before she decided she had enough of me and swam off.
Several green sea turtles were hauled out at this regular resting spot for these endangered marine reptiles, called Honu within the Hawaiian Islands.
