Pattaya, Thailand— The catastrophe avoidance and relief group of Sri Racha Town reacted quickly to an immediate contact Sept 16, reporting a stranded green sea turtle along the shoreline near Soi Luangcham in Sri Racha District.
Regional homeowners, awakening to the sight of a stranded turtle early in the early morning were not sure whether the turtle was hurt or unhealthy and in requirement of help, so they signaled members of the Sri Racha Town’s catastrophe avoidance and relief group, who went to examine the scenario and offer the needed assistance.
The green sea turtle weighing almost 20 kgs was approximated to be ten years old. Encouragingly, the turtle showed indications of life, providing a twinkle of wish for its healing. Nevertheless, the existence of algal flowers in the close-by seaside locations of Sri Racha, Bang Phra, and Bang Saen, which have actually continued for about a week, raised issues about the turtle’s condition. Algal flowers are identified by green-colored seawater and can have destructive impacts on marine life.
Offered the unpredictability relating to the turtle’s condition and the possible link to the algal flowers, a choice was made to carry the turtle to the Sri Racha Marine Proving Ground for more observation and care. There is hope that this green sea turtle will recuperate and will be gone back to its natural environment as quickly as possible.
