Turtles

We are once again receiving reports of sea turtles acting out of the ordinary or 'funny', almost as if they are intoxicated. About a year ago, following a mass die-off of sharpnose pufferfish, sea turtles were dying as a result of ingesting these toxic fish, and we are afraid something similar is occurring now. If you notice sea turtles acting strange and they seem unresponsive, please report it to our Hotline at +599 780 0433. If you have footage of the turtle, we'd love to receive it. You can send it via WhatsApp, messenger or e-mail ([email protected]). Please do not touch the turtles or attempt to capture them. Thank you!

-- we are trying to upload a video of a sea turtle that is acting strange, but are experiencing some technical difficulties --

Satellite images newly obtained by Bellingcat shed light on how a stranded barge at the centre of a major oil spill ended up aground and leaking oil off the Tobago coast.

Bon Dia, Bon Siman☀️

Going to the beach? Choose the ocean's best friend: reef-safe sunscreen. Conventional sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, pose a serious threat to marine life, coral reefs and even our own skin. Be a part of the solution, one sunscreen choice at a time.

Bayendo laman? Pues skohe e mihó amigu di laman: krema kontra solo ku ta seif pa koral. Proktektor solar regular ku ta kontene oxibenzone i octinoxate ta toksiko pa bida marino, koral i asta nos propio kueru. Sea parti di e solushon, i kumpra krema kontral solo sin oxibenzone i octinoxate.
