Turtle Poos Plastic After Being Rescued From Fish Net

This beautiful sea turtle has repeatedly defecated a large amount of plastic items since being rescued from a fishing net.

Roberto Ubieta, a fisherman from the coastal town of San Clemente in the eastern Argentine province of Buenos Aires, noticed the turtle in his fishing nets and pulled it free. As it seemed unwell he took it to the Mundo Marino foundation for treatment.

According to a Mundo Marino spokesperson, the turtle has repeatedly defecated a startling amount of plastic waste after being admitted to the centre, including pieces of plastic, nylon bags and wire.
