A heartwarming rescue took place in the waters off Alimia, near Rhodes, when a captain from Veroia managed to free a small dolphin that had become entangled in fishing lines and gear.
The hero of the incident was Aris Martakis, who, while sailing on his boat, noticed two small dolphins swimming persistently in the same spot, as if trying to get his attention.
The captain and his companions approached cautiously to see what was happening. That’s when they realized that one of the two dolphins had become entangled in fishing lines and gear, preventing it from moving freely.
Despite concerns about how the trapped animal might react, Aris Martakis decided to help it. With careful movements, he managed to cut the fishing lines that were trapping it, freeing it from the fishing gear.
