Puolo, Massa Lubrense. Rita, Noemi and Kevin, an adult male and two sub-adult females, one of which already has eggs and is ready to nest in a few weeks, are the three turtles saved in winter by fishermen and released the other day into the sea of Punta Campanella.
The three Caretta Carettas, at different times, had become entangled in the nets during the usual fishing trips off the Gulf of Salerno. Accidents that happen very often, especially in winter when the cold numbs them. The fishermen immediately alerted the Amp Punta Campanella who recovered the specimens by transferring them to the turtle recovery center of the A.Dohrn Zoological Station. After months of healing in the tubs, finally returning to the sea from Puolo beach, in front of children and school groups.
The collaboration between Amp Punta Campanella, fishermen, the A. Dohrn Zoological Station and the Harbor Office has already saved dozens of sea turtles in recent years. A First Aid Center will soon be opened in Massa Lubrense and the turtle protection network will also be active in the summer months throughout the region, especially in the Cilento and Castelvolturno areas.
