In yet another case, an injured green sea turtle was found at Gholwad beach in Palghar on Friday. The Gholwad range of the Dahanu Forest Division received a distress call after which the turtle was taken to the Turtle and Wildlife Treatment Center, Dahanu. Veterinarian Dr Dinesh Vinherkar, who is currently treating the turtle, said, "It's about 2.5 feet long and is extremely weak. We have started the vitamin therapy and other medication." While the exact reason for the injury is yet to be ascertained, doctors speculate that it might have got trapped in the fishing net and injured itself.
