On March 24, the Forest Ranger Department of Phu Vang district (Thua Thien - Hue province) coordinated with the government and local people to release a 10kg turtle back into the natural environment.
Previously, a fisherman while fishing on Tam Giang lagoon (Vien Trinh village area, Phu Thanh commune, Phu Vang district) discovered this turtle caught in the net. This person then reported to the local authorities for a solution.
In Thua Thien-Hue, green turtles often "get lost" in the brackish water lagoon of Tam Giang in search of food. There have been many cases of green turtles accidentally getting caught in the nets of fishermen fishing in this lagoon.
According to experts and researchers, green turtles (scientific name: Chelonia mydas) are small sea turtles. The characteristic to distinguish turtles from other sea turtles is that they have a short, blunt snout and a pair of scales located in front of the forehead.
Like many other types of sea turtles, turtles play an important role in ocean and beach ecosystems. However, climate change can also pose a threat to this species because the genders of the eggs they produce depend on the temperature.
The green turtle is one of the endangered aquatic species listed in the IUCN Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
