“Help! I’m fishing and just caught a huge sea turtle. She’s completely swallowed my hook.” We are two veterinarians, Debra Moore, who specializes in sea turtles, and John Thomason, who specializes in internal medicine. This is a call we get a lot in our work with the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network.
Thirty minutes after we received this call, the Sea Turtle Stranding team arrived at the Moses Pier in Gulfport, Mississippi, to find a frantic fisherman standing next to a 65-pound female Kemp’s ridley sea turtle. She was lying on the pier with fishing line coming out of her mouth. After examining the turtle for injuries, the team drove her to the veterinary hospital to see if we could save this turtle’s life.

GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - Authorities are searching the area near a Gulfport fishing pier after a truck went into the water Friday morning.
It’s unclear how the truck got in the water near the Urie Pier or who was driving it.
Witnesses told police the vehicle was going at a high rate of speed when it slammed into the water just before Moses Pier. Gulfport divers hooked up tow truck cables to pull the pickup out of the Mississippi Sound.
