Sea Turtles need Your HELP! Let your voice be heard!

A hearing is scheduled for September 2nd at 10:00 a.m. We want to show our State Attorney that our island community cares about sea turtles. Marine turtles are protected by State and Federal laws. Possessing a fresh tail from a 70 year old plus loggerhead sea turtle is against the law. Cutting the tail off of a sea turtle is torture and results in the animal bleeding out and dying. Email a letter to our State Attorney Ahubicki@keyssao.org, fax 305-294-7707 or join us on September 2nd at 10:00 a.m. at the courthouse in Marathon “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much”
