Many dead turtles found on beaches in the gulf of Mexico

As the turtles breeding season are on it's way and many restrictions are made in various areas to help and protect the breeding turtles, many dead turtles have been found dead along the shores close to the oilspill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The latest number of dead turtles I have found is 35, and among them are 33 Kemp' ridley's. The most endangred of all the turtles. So far there has been no clues that the deaths are because of the oilspill. Many of the dead turtles shows instead signs of have been hit my boats, or have been entangled in fishnets, have been in contact with fishhooks or other fishery equipment.

The season for shrimpfishing is also on top now, just as the Kemp Ridley's get into shalllower waters to nest. Then they are more likely to get in conflict with the fisheries, either the boats or the tools that are used during the fishing.

But as I also said there isn't just bad news, but the good news i will come back to later. Now it's a wonderful day here in my hometown and I will go out and enjoy it.
