A specimen of caretta caretta turtle was found on the Scoglio Lungo beach in Porto Torres.

The animal was spotted by some passers-by on the Balai promenade. The alarm was immediately sent to the local police who reported the presence of the beach turtle to the ASL veterinarian. Currently the origin of the animal is not known but the sea currents in recent days have pushed various materials, waste of all sorts, onto the coast.

The specimen seems to have been dead for some time, the sea has corroded part of the shell, therefore it will be removed and disposed of shortly.
