Our first walk along Port Douglas beach and we cam Our first walk along Port Douglas beach and we came upon this Shovelnose Ray floundering at the edge of the surf. He was hooked to a fishing line tangled in coral and seaweed. It took Blair 5 minutes to break the fishing line and send this guy on his way. He still has the hook in his mouth but hopefully all will be OK. Good deed for the day ✨
