Turtles in Costa Rica: Help!
« on: February 02, 2013, 07:53:50 AM »
For the past two weeks, we 've seen many dead turtles in the Golfo Dulce.
That's not pollution.
But the fishermen, not even the local fishermen, outsider fishermen; they catch the turtles and use them to catch more fishes!!!
There is a petition you may sign if you want to help. This petition will be brought to Laura Chinchilla, the Costa Rica president so she can start to change the law about the fishermen ways to work.
here is the link :

Thank you.

That's pretty sad.  I just signed it.

For those gringos from the U.S., when you get to pais "country" scroll down to Estados Unidos.

Done and done.  Just a few years ago,  many people were blind to all the finning of sharks in Costa Rica.  Even then turtles were getting caught in nets and losing their lives.  Thankfully there is a huge movement to protect the sharks.  Hopefully turtles will get the same treatment.  Lets protect all of our sea creatures
