A TURTLE has another chance at life after being rescued off the Territory coast.
The adult female Olive Ridley turtle - believed to be up to 90 years old - was spotted in distress near a reef off Dundee Beach, about 120km southwest of Darwin on Monday.
It is believed she may have swallowed a plastic bag.
