Black-throated Diver embaled in fishing line

Black-throated Diver embaled in fishing line (Gavia arctica)

Not the happiest bird...
Location
Bucharest, Romania
Date taken
December 9th 2019
Scientific name
Gavia arctica
Equipment used
Olympus E-M1 + Zuiko Digital 50-200 mm SWD + EC14
Was there anything which could be done to help, Cristian?
 
The bird was able to swim and catch fishes, so I presume that catching it would be quite hard...Also the lake is a very large one and there are no boats in this area.
