Anglers in Singapore are encouraged to practise catch-and-release while they enjoy fishing as a hobby in nature spaces.
One angler caught a critically-endangered shovelnose ray at Bedok Jetty and made the right call to promptly set it free.

Catch and release
When held upright, the ray with a distinct triangular head was longer than the man's body.

With the help of a fellow angler, the man was able to lift and hoist the fish over the metal rails, while several voices could be heard offscreen saying "catch and release".
