Excerpt

Two Green sea turtles were found dead in the shores of Boracay Island, Aklan, and Cauayan, Negros Occidental recently. The first carcass of a female Green sea turtle was found near Fairways and Bluewater Boracay in Boracay Island last Jan 2, 2020. Based on its wounds, it is believed that propellers of boats or ships passing by the area may have smashed and split its back. The carcass was buried after the investigation by the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) in Boracay Island.
