11 sea turtles and a dolphin deaths were located by the State Committee of strandings of marine mammals and turtles in the coast of this municipality, so the research protocol has been activated to determine the causes of this mortality.
The turtles were buried yesterday with support of Municipal Civil protection staff, while the researchers sampled and measured each of the exemplary dead.
This new finding was recorded in the stretch of Las Cabras and the Green Palm Beach, and the CIP Beach spirit.
“We cannot determine the causes, whether it’s a pathology or which has led to death, because the turtles are in a complete state of decomposition”, said the veterinarian of the Mazatlan Aquarium, jasmine Martinez.
The State Committee of strandings of marine mammals and turtles is formed by personnel of Profepa, Government of the State, camp UNAM-Fonatur, Onca explorations, Mazatlan Aquarium and Secretary of Social and human development, and it has as objective to determine the causes of this slaughter and bury the chelonians, said Raquel Briceño Dueñas, researcher of the UNAM.
“This is the first attention to the contingency of the strandings are logged, in some cases we can not draw samples because the turtles present state of putrefaction, which says more than six days of dead”, said.
In the case of two turtles that appeared dead in Nayarit, it was determined that it was by eating algae with high toxins, but in this case still cannot be what happened.
