Officers at Phuket Marine Biological Centre (PMBC) were called to Leypang Beach at 8:45am after staff at the nearby Dusit Thani Hotel reported that they had found a young turtle caught in a fishing net. The hotel staff carefully cut away the tangled fishing net and placed the turtle in an open container with water to keep the turtle wet until the marine biologists from the PMBC arrived.

zaZa9 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 One turtle saved in Kamala as well at about 2pm yesterday. Honestly , its the fisherman who are widely responsible for local sea pollution. Hundreds upon hundreds of 'little brown bottles' yesterday. Many many fluros and light bulbs and pieces of boat with rusty nails sticking out . Dozens of plastic bottles containing suspicious yellow liquids. Marine oil bottles .. Thousands of metres of bits or rope and nets. Any education plan should start with them. These guys are environmental rapists . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
