A total of 12 turtles were found dead on the beaches of El Chupadero, in Tecomán.

According to a group of fishermen, they discovered 12 dead turtles scattered on the beaches of Tecomán, some even with trammel lines in their mouths. Of others, they only found their shells.

They explained that this mortality is caused by poachers and foreigners who use trammel and falsework, which are traps for the massive capture of fish, but at the same time turtles and dolphins are trapped that die by drowning.

The fishermen of Tecomán ask the authorities to pay special attention to this matter, and, above all, to punish those responsible for this ecological damage.
