Fish wearing a wedding ring in the Australian Sea

An Australian conservationist spotted a fish wearing a gold ring – which was later identified as a wedding ring – in the waters off the country’s east coast.

Environmentalist Susan Prior just posted on her blog a photo of a fish with a gold collar around its neck, which she accidentally caught while diving in Emily Bay on Norfolk Island, according to People Magazine on May 13.
In the past, she has found many other fish with plastic rings that are waste from drinking water bottles, but this time it was completely different.
But whether it’s a “plastic ring” or a gold ring, Ms Prior said it’s just “needle” bracelets that make life difficult for marine animals.
“The sand mullet feeds by foraging in the sand, and so their noses easily get caught in rings or hairpins and end up being forced to wear them for the rest of their lives,” she said. said.
In the case of the gold bracelet, it turned out to be a wedding ring. Its owner, Nathan Reeves, reported losing the ring while diving last Christmas with his wife Suzie Quintal, according to Newsweek Magazine.
Some people on Norfolk Island decided to organize a search for the ring to return it to its owner, and at the same time free the fish from its heavy chains.
