About 25 turtles were found dead last Thursday (23), in Barra Velha, on the northern coast of the state. According to FUNDEMA (Municipal Foundation for the Environment), some of the animals were already in an advanced state of decomposition.
According to the City Hall, teams of the foundation, along with volunteers, carried out cleaning work at the mouth of Barra do Rio Itapocu, when they located the turtles in an area of forest. There is still no information on how the turtles got there.
The animals, which had been in the area for less time, were collected by the Santos Basin Beaches Monitoring Project (PMP-BS) team. The others, due to the advanced state of decomposition, remain in place.
Now, FUNDEMA is waiting for the Joinville Environmental Military Police to investigate the case. Depending on what is found, an investigation must be opened with the Civil Police.
