After being briefly trapped near the AQD station in west central Philippines, three sea turtles found themselves free again thanks to their conscientious rescuers.

The first was a green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), nicknamed Neneng which was entangled in a seine net. Neneng weighed between 100-120 kg and measured 107 cm long and 100 cm wide. She was tagged (tag code: PH8504) and released on the same day by AQD FishWorld. The second was an olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) given the name Marcela which weighed about 20 kilos and measured 21.5 cm long and 22.75 cm wide. She too was ensnared in a seine net. Tagged with the code PH 8505, she was released January 8. The third was another green, named Bibiday, weighing 50-60 kilograms and was about 38-inch long and 27.8-inch wide. She was released January 23 with tag code PH 8506.
