    Excerpt
    It's A grieving sight ever to see carcasses especially to those animal lovers and advocates who help protect and conserve species and boost its population. It was unfortunate to start the year witnessing a female Green sea turtle found dead in the shores of a resort in Boracay Island and a week later, another one was found at Cauayan, Negros Occidental. A carcass of a female Green sea turtle was found off shores of Fairways and Bluewater Boracay in Boracay Island at noontime on Jan. 2, 2020. It was identified as fairly decomposed and has an unpleasant smell with its organs detached, coming out from the center of its carapace that had been sliced. Its death may have been possibly caused by the propellers of boats or ships which crashed on its back, splitting it in two. The carcass was buried after the investigation conducted by the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Boracay Island.
