There is no peace for the animals of the Adriatic. Hook wounds, hit by harpoons or oars, wedged in fishing nets. There are 7 sea turtles found dead in just one month on the stretch of the coast that goes from Termoli, in Molise, to Lesina, in Puglia.
What could be the causes of these massacres? These are deaths related to the tragic stranding of sperm whales on the nearby seafront of Vasto? For Pasquale Salvemini, head of the WWF and the Sea Turtle Recovery Center of Molfetta, the fault is clear and lies with fishing related activities.
He says it clear and round to the local newspaper Primonumero.com: because of the trawling the turtles get entangled in the nets and go under strain.
“The turtles may have landed on a reef or, in some cases, the fishermen may have used an oar to stun the turtles ended up in the big networks “.
Salvemini has instead excluding any link with searches. Finally, plastic pollution in the sea and illegal discharges into river mouths remain to be considered. In short, in any case nThere is no doubt that it is man who kills the turtles.
