On the 30th of April 2012 divers in the Jaltemba Bay, Nayarit brought a juvenile hawksbill turtle to members of the Red Tortuguera A.C. This critically endangered turtle had been found caught on a longline by the Jaltemba island (aka coral island) in the bay. Although they cut the fishing line the hook remains deep in the turtles throat. If it is not removed the turtle will die.
