Nature Trust – FEE Malta – Gozo Section said that these two entangled turtles were spotted near the Salt Pans at Xwejni in Gozo earlier this week.
Following a search assisted by Armed Forces of Malta NTM said that sadly they were unable to locate them. “If anyone spots them, please call the Wildlife Rescue Team immediately on 99999505.”
The public are being asked to please keep an eye out along the coast of the Salt Pans, Xwejni, Qbajjar and Marsalforn.
“Please do not attempt to remove the entanglement and release them, the turtles need to be assessed by a vet,” said NTM.
