Kind People Go Above and Beyond to Rescue Injured Sea Turtle in Hawaii
They knew the poor turtle needed help.
TikTok user @bohomeena was enjoying a dive in the Hawaii waters near one of her favorite beaches when she came across a sea turtle. They were about to keep moving when the sea turtle turned and they noticed something very wrong. His fin was barely hanging on. Ugh, that must've been so sad to see.
Luckily, this group of kind humans knew exactly what to do. She swam back to shore to call a rescue team while the people she was with stayed in the water to look after the sea turtle. The caption for this video does say trigger warning so just be prepared as you're watching.

Wow! We’re so glad these kind humans were at the right place at the right time and noticed this sea turtle needed help. Without them seeking help, he most likely would not have made it due to an infection, the TikToker said.
“You were meant to be there for him,” commented @lifeof_d. Yes, yes, yes, yes! We believe that wholeheartedly. @christinastruggles added, "That poor baby is so lucky you all were there." You can say that again! Plus, the fast response from the rescue crew was incredible. We'll be patiently waiting for the update on how this precious sea turtle is doing.
This TikToker emphasized in the caption that there are organizations that will come and help these turtles. So, if you’re ever visiting Hawaii and think a sea turtle needs help, please give these organizations a call! She also said not to touch the sea turtles or swim within 10 feet of them. It's illegal in Hawaii. The more you know!
