Excerpt
It used to be that these delicate eggs hatched by gentle creatures from the sea ended up in fisherfolk’s household pots. They were a delicacy, and also a source of livelihood. Back in the 1990s, even earlier, marine turtle, or pawikan, eggs would sell for double the price of chicken eggs, making them a prize catch for poachers.
