green sea turtle found by a photographer on Tuesday morning was missing when National Parks Board staff went to retrieve it.
“When I saw it, I thought it might have been alive, but stuck on the shore on the rocks and boulders,” he said. “I tried lifting it, and that’s when I realised it was already dead. The centre of the shell looked kind of cracked, and it was not very heavy. It felt like a lot of the insides were already drained out, and the turtle was decaying.”
Since 2020, NParks has been alerted to six dead sea turtles along Singapore’s shores, said Mr Ryan Lee, group director of NParks’ National Biodiversity Centre. Due to extreme decomposition, the cause of death could not be identified in most of the cases. A critically endangered hawksbill turtle was also found dead at Changi Beach in February. The carcass was retrieved by NParks. However, the cause of death could not be verified, owing to the extreme state of decomposition.
