A dead sea turtle was found afloat in the shoreline off Station 1 in Boracay Island.
The Boracay Island authorities believed that the rotting sea turtle might have been drifted by turbulent seas and big waves toward the Philippine shore, particularly in the Visayan sea.
The dead turtle may have come from other places owing to its tag bearing the inscription “Turtle World of Malaysia.â€
A boatman, identified as a certain Reynold Biya of Romblon, reportedly found the sea turtle already dead while drifting in the sea.
Belonging to the family of marine reptile, the sea turtle was estimated to be one meter wide.
It was already reeking with foul odor as its body gradually decomposed, prompting the island authorities to bury the dead marine creature to get rid of the unwanted smell in the area. - pna.gov.ph
