Sea turtles "fall" and wash ashore in Mui Ne

While fishing along the coast of Mui Ne (Lam Dong), local fishermen discovered a large, old, exhausted sea turtle drifting ashore on the afternoon of October 17.

Accordingly, the turtle was about 1.5m long, weighed more than 100kg, and had a shell covered with many oyster and clam shells. When discovered, the turtle was "slumbering" and lying motionless.

Dozens of fishermen then brought the turtle ashore, embalmed it, covered it with red cloth, beat drums and gongs, and held a traditional burial at the Ba Vang Temple Cemetery.

Mui Ne fishermen brought the turtle ashore and buried it according to local customs.

It is known that according to local custom, when a whale or large sea turtle washes ashore, it will be solemnly buried by fishermen.
