We would like to stress how important reports from boaters and fishermen are: they are the only way to reduce sea turtle mortality.
THE TURTLE IS NOT IN GOOD CONDITION IF:
- when lifted, it is unresponsive and does not move its flippers;
- when its eyes are touched with a finger, it does not react by closing its eyelids.
CONTACT THE COAST GUARD (1530) OR THE FORESTRY CORPS (1515) AND/OR THE NEAREST RESCUE CENTRE.
