A woman is urging people to take care of the environment after she recently found a fish with a gold ring caught around its neck.
Susan Prior confirmed in a blog post on Tuesday that she was snorkeling in Emily Bay on Norfolk Island, which is located off of Australia's eastern coast, when she witnessed the unusual sight.
According to Prior — who is a writer, editor and environmental conservationist — a sand mullet was swimming through the waters on Monday with a gold wedding band lodged around its neck.
Although she had previously spotted sand mullets wearing plastic collars from juice and milk bottles — a sight she called "gut-wrenching" — Prior said this was unlike anything she had seen before.
"Yesterday, I saw another mullet with a ring collar, but this one looked a shiny metallic gold, with a lot less algal growth compared to the plastic ones," she explained on her blog. |
