Looped litter: Fishing net
Outcome: Immediate release
Campers along the Kermandie River in Geeveston spotted a platypus entangled in discarded fishing net and raised the alarm. With help on the way, the campers were able to keep watch on the entangled platypus. Following a delicate capture, the fishing line was carefully removed. Fortunately in this instance the injuries were minor, and the platypus was released back into the waterway.
