| Was this seaturtle already deceased, or was he in condition to either be rehabilitated or rescued? |

| This turtle had been dead for 2 or more days. It probably died further out at sea and floated onto the beach afterwards. If you wish to see rehabilitated turtles, visit

| We have 6 stranded turtles last month in Restinga area (30 km in the north of Tetouan city in Mediterranean sea). It seem that interaction with fisheries is the most important cause !!! |

| Just out of curiosity, was a necropsy done? Were there any unusual findings? |
