SARIAYA, Quezon, Philippines — A total of 123 hatchlings of the olive ridley turtle endangered species or “pawikan” were released Friday by environment groups at Tayabas Bay, here. | |||
Tanggol Kalikasan-Timog Katagalugan (TK-TK) Special Project Officer Efrelyn N. Escultura Calabano said the sea turtle eggs were discovered by the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) and the Bantay Dagat last November and then cared for by concerned public and private agencies. | |||
The olive ridley sea turtle is most commonly known as Pacific Ridley and considered vulnerable because of large scale commercial exploitation and trading of their skin, Calabano said. | |||
Sariaya Mayor Boyet V. Masilang ordered the municipal agriculture office to conduct a seminar for coastal village residents for the proper handling and caring of sea turtles since the place has become a favorite breeding ground and hatching area of marine turtles. | |||
