Nature Seekers TT, an environmental conservation group, is calling on Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh to allow sea-turtle conservationists access to beaches at night to monitor and collect data.
The turtle-watching season began on March 1 and ends on August 30. The Public Health Ordinance only allows access to beaches between 6 am and 6 pm. Monitoring the turtles would be difficult with this restriction, since most sea turtle species usually come ashore at night during high tide.
The organisation said, in a release on Tuesday, it had tried several times to get the necessary permits/exemptions for turtle-conservation work, but had been unsuccessful.
