Scientists typically extract plastic from turtles through a surgical procedure, often performed under anesthesia. They make an incision in the turtle's body to access the gastrointestinal tract, where the plastic is lodged, and carefully remove it. After the surgery, the turtle is monitored for recovery before being released back into its natural habitat. This process is part of broader efforts to address the impacts of plastic pollution on marine life.
