A new specie of sea turtle was rescued in one of the fishermen's nets along Barangay San Juan, Barotac Viejo last February 29, 2012. Due to heightened awareness of local fishermen, reported cases of rescuing these animals had been increasing in Banate and Barotac Bay municipalities.
Along with the POs and BFARMCs, BBBRMCI continue to advocate this kind of environmental protection of marine animals.
To date, three species of marine turtle was already cited in the area. These were hawsbill, green sea turtle and the latest is the kemps ridley turtle. The latest specie is around 40-50 kilograms in weight.
