Umzimkulu Turtle Trap featuring HUGO Fishing #ugu #anc #municipality #bridge #umzimkulu: HUGO Fishing has been documenting the plight of a turtle stuck in the inadvertently built fish trap in the Umzimkulu Mouth right now…

good early morning welcome back
I wonder if you caught the breakfast show
even earlier than this this morning
we’re gonna try and keep that up but okay
luckily every now and then
we meet someone who’s very
considerate and careful and caring about nature
and this guy Hugo certainly is
he discovered something a bit disturbing
and we’re only here to report
we’re not here to give opinions or anything like that
but there is quite simply a fact here
that there’s turtles stuck in that
what you gonna call it
I don’t know what you gonna call it
looks like a fish trap to me
this is a genuine
look at the shape and match the two up here
that’s a fish trap you know
they made a fish trap
now these turtles are getting stuck inside there anyway
I’m just gonna let Hugo play out these two videos
hey Hugo
thank you ever so much I’m gonna send this to Ori
we’re gonna try and find out what we can possibly do
to stop the poor okes getting stuck in there
we’re gonna put a sign up for the turtles that say
go to the other mouth now because we’re busy here
you know we’re gonna be busy here for the whole time
and now you can’t come through your own river alright
thank you very much hugo
this is the pylon that they want to fix this one here
you can see how it’s actually sagged
so this is the one that they want to fix
now what is the ocean doing
what is the sea doing they’ve blocked it off here
and it looks like if it’s a continual thing oh
here’s a big turtle look at this turtle guys
I just hopefully it’s on video
but just came out now
I think what he wants to do is to come up in the river
but now he can’t let’s see if he’s gonna come up again
hmm if I only had a breath hold like that alright so now
um
they are still closing this here
so the
the vehicles are crossing onto the sea from this side
now they are crossing so now
they are
creating a
a retainer cause
now the sea is coming to take away all of the sand
again so they’re creating a retainer
so the sand must stay here
there’s a turtle turtles right there right there
so this is what it is looking at
these guys are driving it’s a proper wall here
and they going to open up
uh pylon 1
2 they can open up 3
try and open up 3 pylons for the sea to go for
for for the estuary to go out
but see there on that side
the parking area is already flooded
all the parking area there is already flooded
yeah so that’s it for today
it’s a like a long one there up and down
oh I feel so sorry for him anyways
he’s gonna come up now yeah he comes up
there he is there
there he is there sorry my boy
Ei
he’s stuck in this little
supposed to go back into the river
