Marine debris is choking the oceans, but thankfully for this 800-pound, 5.5-foot-long leatherback sea turtle entangled in discarded fishing gear, about 30 miles off the coast of New Jersey, the U.S. Coast Guard came by to offer a helping hand. But so much other marine life and countless creatures aren't so lucky.
