 | Sea turtle killed by entanglement in fishing net.Credit: Fisheries. |  | Scott Gudes prepares to bury a dead pelican. Pelicans are one of the bird species that become entangled in discarded monofilament fishing line. The birds are trapped by the line when it wraps around their legs and can not fly to hunt for food or reach water. Death is prolonged and painful. The monofilament clean up removes line from the roosting sites to protect birds from entanglement.Credit: NOAA Restoration Center. |
 | Volunteers rush to bring an injured bird to the boat that will transport the pelican to wildlife rehabilitators who will attempt to resuscitate the bird. Successful rehabilitation depends upon a number of factors including the length of entanglement and exposure to the elements.Credit: NOAA Restoration Center. | ||
