'Sharjah Aquarium' safety valve for marine turtles

July 16, 2023 / 12:29 PM
Sharjah24: The Sharjah Aquarium of the Sharjah Museums Authority introduced the "Rehabilitation of Injured Turtles" programme, aiming to preserve sea turtles and save them from extinction, as the Sharjah Aquarium is the guardian of the marine environment in the region.
The programme works on treating and rehabilitating  injured sea turtles to return to their natural habitat, which contributes to improving the quality of the marine environment and maintaining its balance and sustainability.

It includes health care for the injured turtles, where they are treated from barnacle crustaceans using medical equipment, providing them with food and nutrition. It gets released into their natural home once they regain their health.

Marine turtles are essential in preserving marine creatures, including fish, crustaceans, and coral reefs.

The Environment and Protected Areas Authority works to reduce environmental threats facing sea turtles, such as pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction.

The authority looks forward to enhancing environmental awareness and encouraging the community to join in preserving the marine environment.
