Back to newsA fisherman in Crete recently rescued a seagull that had become entangled in a fishing line, with the moment captured on video. The bird was unable to free itself from the line, which had wrapped around it, before the fisherman intervened to safely release it. The incident highlights a common hazard for coastal wildlife around the island's popular fishing and swimming areas. Visitors enjoying Crete's beaches and harbors are encouraged to dispose of fishing lines, hooks, and other tackle responsibly, as discarded gear poses a serious risk to seabirds and marine life. If you spot an injured or trapped animal near the coast, local wildlife rescue contacts can be reached through the nearest municipal authority or port authority office.
