On 26 Feb, Richard Lim, an experienced kayaker, reported seeing a large Green sea turtle at Eastern Pulau Ubin. It was about 1m in diameter. It breathed loudly and surprised Richard. Unfortunately, Richard didn't have a camera to record this sighting.
Singapore's waters are alive!

Unfortunately, last month, a large sea turtle was found dead at Changi. It is possible that this sea turtle was sick from eating plastic. This blocks a sea turtle's guts, leading to gases building up inside the sea turtle which causes it to float and unable to dive deep to avoid ships.
