This is the heartwarming moment a group of fishermen rescue a sea turtle which was caught in a fishing net.<br /><br />The footage, captured off the coast of Ecuador, shows a man cutting the turtle free from the net. <br /><br />A relative of the fishermen later wrote online: ''My father and my uncle were out ocean fishing. <br /><br />''They had seen the turtle tangled in the line while they were returning to port. <br /><br />''My uncle Ted Bautista cut away the rope and net around the turtle before returning him to the ocean. <br /><br />''Ted was visiting from the United States at the time and has always loved animals so he felt compelled to stop and help.''<br /><br />The clip was filmed in November 2017.
