4月10日傍晚,正在執勤的中國海警東門艦執法人員在南沙海域發現一隻玳瑁,並不停用身體撞擊艦船船體,似乎有受傷跡象。
China Coast Guard Dongmen Ship Law Enforcement Officer Li Tengteng:After dinner, we found a tortoiseshell on the mooring platform, which seemed to show signs of injury after hitting the side of the ship, and we salvaged it in time to rescue it.
At the same time, the coast guard officers found that the tortoiseshell had a lot of barnacles on its body, which would have a great impact on the hawksbill turtle's movements, so they used tools to carefully clean the barnacles and then release them back into the sea.
China Coast Guard Dongmen Ship Law Enforcement Officer Li Tengteng:In the process of law enforcement, we will also carry out professional rescue of wild animals in need of rescue in a timely manner, and we have the ability to protect our marine environment.
