Synopsis

This charming story is about Tursi, the bottlenose dolphin, Pinni, the sea lion, and Mydas, the green sea turtle, as they deal with the deadly problem of plastics in the ocean. When Pinni becomes entangled in fishing line, the trio must embark on a journey to find a solution for freeing her. On the way, they encounter many other ocean creatures whose lives are endangered by plastic debris.

As Tursi, Pinni and Mydas venture to the shore seeking human help, they learn that careless human littering is a source of the plastic problem. Yet, they find reason to hope when they see that some humans are working to make the oceans safer by cleaning up the trash, and caring for injured marine animals.
