This is the story of our first Green Sea Turtle rescue in 1998; we named this turtle 'Chance'. As this was our first rescue we were not sure what to do other than to remove the fishing line that was cutting down nearly to the bone. In hindsight we realized that this turtle more than likely needed to have his fin amputated. Since that time Deep Ecology has rescued 13 turtles that required amputation due to fishing line. Almost all of these sea turtles were from the North Shore.
