GULF OF MEXICO: 38 TURTLES FAILED

TURTLES NEWS - In just over 15 days, 38 turtles washed up on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico have already been identified. These Kemp turtles, one of the smallest species of sea turtles, could of course be the
first victims of the oil spill. But scientists want to remain cautious: this type of stranding is common, the fact remains that the number of deaths is more important than usual. Only the autopsies planned in the coming days will make it possible to determine with certainty if the oil is indeed at the origin of the death of the turtles.
