Sea Turtles - Saving the Ancient Mariner
Project Updates 2006
Analysis of Illegal Sea Turtle Trade in Benoa and Pulau Serangan, Bali, 2006The Hunting and Smuggling of Sea Turtles throughout the Archipelago of Indonesia is Illegal, an unethical form of stealing from other regions, and unacceptable by all National and International poaching standards and laws. Turtle Poaching is gradually and dangerously increasing the tensions and negative attitude of many Indonesian people toward Bali and the Balinese. Many regencies believe in the protection of Sea Turtles, adhering to laws, and currently despise the deceptive invasion of the Balinese Turtle Hunters and the continuing existence of Illegal Balinese Turtle trade.
