Marine Turtle Rescued in Monastir Gulf After Getting Caught in Fishing Nets

A marine turtle of the loggerhead species (Caretta caretta) was rescued in the Monastir Gulf after being found trapped in fishing nets, announced the association "Notre Grand Bleu" (Our Great Blue).

The animal, named Amna, was taken care of by the association's teams before being transferred to the marine turtle care center run by the National Institute of Marine Sciences and Technologies. She is currently receiving the necessary care to aid in her recovery.

In its statement, the association reminded the public of the importance of reporting any marine turtle discovery, whether alive or deceased, as soon as possible. They invite the public to contact their teams, who will handle the necessary procedures in coordination with specialized structures.

Note: The association "Notre Grand Bleu" is likely a Tunisian organization dedicated to marine conservation and protection. The National Institute of Marine Sciences and Technologies is a Tunisian research institution focused on marine sciences and technologies.
