It is with deep sadness that we share troubling news from the coastline of Diani Beach. Just before departing by boat, our captain Ali discovered a lifeless green sea turtle at our beach. Upon further investigation, we were devastated to find that the turtle’s head had been severed. We immediately contacted Diani Turtle Watch, who assured us they would send a team to investigate. This tragic incident marks the third turtle lost in just one week—an alarming and deeply concerning trend for an endangered species already fighting for survival.
Green sea turtles are an essential part of our marine ecosystem, and their decline has far-reaching consequences. If these senseless acts continue, we risk pushing these gentle creatures closer to extinction. We urge everyone in our community to stay vigilant, report any suspicious activities, and work together to protect our marine wildlife. Advocacy for stronger protection measures is now more important than ever. Every effort we make, no matter how small, can contribute to the preservation of these incredible animals and their fragile habitats. Let us stand united to safeguard the future of our oceans.
