We shared with you this beautiful Caretta Caretta, the victim of propeller boats that are prohibited in the region.
We reached the region upon the call for help. Haytap paid the 21,500 TL for our friend's treatment.
Our friend's treatment was completed and he regained his freedom.
The biggest causes of death for these unique sea turtles that are in danger of extinction are unfortunately human-related.
Propeller boats, ghost nets left in the sea, plastic bags that they swallow thinking they are jellyfish...
They all threaten their lives silently but mercilessly.
One of the most common mistakes is trying to feed sea turtles from boats.
This seemingly well-intentioned behavior causes the turtles to approach the boats even closer.
The result is often serious injuries and, unfortunately, deaths due to propeller strikes...
