A sea turtle was found caught in an abandoned net at Handam Beach in Aewol-eup, Jeju-si.

According to the Jeju National University dolphin research team, 116 sea turtles were found dead in Jeju waters from 2021 to August 2024.

Professor Kim Byeong-yeop of the Jeju National University dolphin research team, who has been studying sea turtles and dolphins in Jeju for over 20 years, warns:

A baby southern bottlenose dolphin almost lost its life after being caught in discarded fishing gear such as nets and fishing lines, a baby sea turtle and wild birds died after swallowing a fishing hook, and even threats to soft coral colonies, which are the habitat of marine life.
