As 'good meat', Bayelsa community ate sea turtles until it realised killing them hurts the environment


The Akassa Development Foundation’s sea turtle club educates coastal communities in Bayelsa about the importance of sea turtles to prevent locals from killing them for meat or poaching their eggs. The club members also rescue turtles from their captors and accept turtles surrendered by fishers to release them back into the ocean.
