Off they go: Baby turtles making their way into the open sea after being released at the beach in Teluk Bahang.Slow-moving and rich in collagen, jellyfish make for a wonderful meal for turtles, which are immune to jellyfish stings.
Penang Fisheries Department director Zarina Zainuddin said the main cause of the decline in turtle populations was plastic pollution when the particles get eaten by marine life.“Another key cause of turtle deaths is ‘ghost nets’, which are nets accidentally left behind by fishermen that cause turtles to be entangled.The department has declared the Teluk Bahang beach near here as a turtle nesting site, and set up the Marine Conservation Centre at Angsana Resort to conserve the species.
Signage has been placed along the “Turtle Friendly Beach”, to notify the public that it is a turtle landing area, and giving them the dos and don’ts. “We have carried out extensive conservation and public education work over the past decade, and this has helped the turtle population to become stable.
