When she found this green sea turtle, the unbelievable part was that it was already 2:40 PM… which meant the turtle had been lying on its back on the beach for a very long time. Sea turtles usually come ashore to nest at night or just before dawn, so this poor turtle had likely been stuck in that position for hours!
She knew it needed help, so she ran about half a mile until she found a family who could assist her (adult sea turtles can weigh hundreds of pounds, and she couldn’t flip it over by herself). Together, we worked to safely turn it back onto its right side. Then, we watched as it quickly made its way back into the ocean 🐢🌅
🚨COZUMEL SE PUDRE🚨 y con ello el riesgo de mantener a salvo el arrecife que hemos salvado del 4to muelle y de Royal Caribean en Mahahual.
La planta “San Miguelito” derrama aguas negras en el manglar, contaminando Laguna Ciega y el sistema arrecifal.
¡Alza la voz! 🌊🚫
