Veterinarians, based at the sea turtle hospital at the Sattahip naval base in Chon Buri province, are scheduled to dissect a dead Hawksbill sea turtle to discover the cause of its death.

 

The one-metre long and 40kg dead sea turtle, believed to be about 15 years old, was found floating in the sea near Juang Island in Sattahip Bay on Sunday by Mr. Surasak Hongthong as he was fishing from a boat.

 

The Hawksbill sea turtle is listed as a critically endangered species. The sea turtle was taken aboard the boat and brought ashore. A team of naval officers and a veterinarian from the sea turtle hospital, Mr. Kirin Sornpipatcharoen, rushed to examine the animal, which showed no signs of being wounded.
