Moss captioned the rescue video in 2018: "right place at the right time thankful for the opportunity to help this old girl, she was all out of luck pinned down and cooking in the sun ? with the help of my family and friends." Moss believed the turtle may have tipped over by high winds."

The video touched a chord online, one user wrote, "In all of the turtle rescue videos ive seen theres always a turtle waiting for their friend to be rescued (sic)."

Another said, "I love this! And doing it in front of a little one who can learn compassion and action from them. Wonderful!"

The men gave the turtle a hand into the water, till it regained its equilibrium. At the end of the clip, you see the turtle swimming back to its crew who were loyally waiting for their friend to join them.

The incident above maybe two years old, but it's a gentle reminder for people to be kind and compassionate towards these precious animals. A lot of times we've heard of people mindlessly clicking selfies with marine creatures which get washed ashore - not a lot of people think about helping them.

But it's people like the surfers above, who lead by example and encourage people to do the right thing. Human's have already wreaked havoc on marine life with plastic pollution and at this point, even a little bit compassion will go a long way in saving endangered creatures.
