KUALA TERENGGANU: The rising trend of selling turtle eggs online since May 2020 has prompted a group of activists to form a surveillance team on social media known as Turtle Watch Malaysia.
Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) Oceanography and Environment Institute Research Laboratory head Dr Mohd Uzair Rusli who is one of the activists said the setting up of the team had enabled them to receive information from concerned members of the public on such activities.
He said to date, Turtle Watch Malaysia has gathered almost 1,000 ‘spies’ who would supply information on the sale of turtle eggs online and the activities have been reported to the Fisheries Department for further investigation.
