A look inside Ecuador’s Marine Fauna Rehabilitation Center which offers long-term treatments to marine turtles before they are returned to the wild
Most turtles rescued by the Marine Fauna Rehabilitation Center in Manabi province have trash or fish hooks in their intestines. They often confuse plastic with jellyfish and eat it. Many have fractures from being hit by fishermen or tangled in nets, said veterinarian Ruben Aleman.
The turtle is one of dozens at the center, all from species threatened to some degree with extinction. One turtle - which lost its front fins during a surgery to remove netting, plastic and fish hooks - has been fitted with a pair of prosthetics."It will be a turtle which helps to educate and raise awareness about the damage they suffer," he said. "They are vulnerable."
