There is poaching of these turtles taking place on certain beaches in Tobago.Nesting turtles are being taken from the beach and butchered, sometimes before they have had time to nest, and so wiping out not just one turtle but future generations too.This is of enormous consequence to an already critically endangered population and action needs to be taken now.
Would you be interested in patrolling the beaches in the evenings to look out for nesting turtles?
An increased presence of people on the nesting beaches would act as a deterent to poachers. They would be less likely to take a turtle with witnesses present.
The beaches which need patrolling are Turtle beach and Grafton.
If you would like to get involved please email or phone for more details.
Thank you.
