After a six-month rehabilitation, a green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) was released back to its habitat through the efforts of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) in close coordination with the Wildlife Traffic Monitoring Unit Staff of Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Guimbal, Iloilo. Fully recovered and in good health, the turtle was released in the beach area of Tigbauan, Iloilo, just recently. The turtle was rescued in July 2018 and was tagged PH1068K by DENR-CENRO Sara staff.
