Sixty-Nine (69) Olive Ridley Turtles Released

The released of sixty-nine (69) Olive Ridley Turtles headed at Brgy. Maribulan, Alabel, Sarangani Province last July 13, 2017.  The activity was initiated by the Deputy Fish Warden of Alabel Sarangani.  The turtles were released at around 5:02 PM.  Most of the turtles were vigorous as they crawl on the shore towards the sea.  Although the weaker hatchlings were slow, all of them were able to make it to the sea.  The people that witnessed the activity are hoping that most, if not all, the turtles will be able to survive and reach maturity and eventually come back to lay their own eggs.  The releasing of hatchlings was witnessed by the representatives from the LGU and MENRO of Alabel, LGU-PENRO of Sarangani, CLAFI, DSWD, DENR-PENRO Alabel, Office of the PASu, and the locals of the barangay.
