Should we take the barnacle off the turtle

[Hank49]

Right. So touching a turtle is not a felony. And the answer is "it depends..."

Just go take the damn barnacle off. If you get caught, it looks like you'd love the chance to argue with the cop, the judge, FWC, the turtle's family or anyone else.

There's a sea turtle who lives at a dive site I visit often. He has a barnacle on his shell. Should we take it off for him? If so is there a particular way to go about it that he'll mind less, or to minimize potential damage to his shell?

I would only take it off if the turtle asked me to.

Cheers,
Roger

I say go scrape the barnacle off and video the whole thing, send the video to the FWC asking for comment. (make sure all divers are identified).
