A sea turtle (Caretta caretta ) yesterday entangled in fishing lines used by some of Trieste. These, perceiving the-catch, they promptly brought the specimen at the center for turtles active at the Miramare Marine Protected Area, where the animal it still stands. In the morning radiography was performed for the turtle to determine the exact position of the hook of the line, so you can then proceed to its proper removal. The operation will run in tomorrow.
accidental fishing of sea turtles because of long lines is a 
actually quite common, due to poor selectivity of this fishing technique. The correct behavior in case of accidental fishing of this type is not to release the animal before making sure that the hook, and not wait until it is fully restored and is not exhausted. In our Gulf turtles are quite common in this period the migratory season begins in the coastal current which date back counterclockwise, from Istria and Dalmatia reach the Gulf of Trieste and Venice graze here, then return to the starting point.
last year have stayed at the Miramare Marine Protected Area of \u200b\u200bsix turtles in need of rescue. WWF experts are keen to tell everyone that the survival of this species as well as that of other species of sea turtles, dolphins and marine mammals is entrusted to the sensitivity and commitment of all. Therefore, it calls, in case of sighting of individuals in distress, to report promptly to the nearest marine areas, fire fighters, civil defense or the local Coast Guard.
