An entangled loggerhead sea turtle is recovered by a Coast Guard 24-foot Special Purpose Craft crew from Station Oregon near the Bonner Bridge, Sunday, Aug. 31, 2014. The crew brought a National Park Service agent along to help untangle the turtle from a line dragging a plastic bucket after a good Samaritan boater reported the distressed sea turtle to the Coast Guard.
