Watch out for stranded turtles on our beaches
Conservationists along the South African coastline are on high alert as rough seas and the start of the annual sea turtle hatchling stranding season spells bad news for the little marine creatures. Every year, between March and May, large numbers of mostly Loggerhead turtles, an endangered species, wash up on beaches along the South African coast, including the Southern Cape. In Plettenberg Bay, the Plett Stranding Network can be contacted on 079 463 4837 or Chanal 072 317 2280. Tenikwa can also be contacted on 082 486 1515.
