Marine rangers have saved the life of an adult turtle after cutting it free from a crab pot in a dramatic rescue near Lamb Island. Marine Park Ranger Georgie Sneesby said the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service were conducting a joint patrol with the Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol in Moreton Bay on 16 August 2023. "We received a call from a member of the public, who advised us that a large turtle was caught in a crab pot near Lamb Island," Ms Sneesby said. "When we arrived on scene, we found an adult green sea turtle struggling to keep its head above water, and rope from the crab pot was tightly wrapped around its neck and both front flippers.
