Marine Campaign

The government of Berau, East Kalimantan has declared war against sea turtle poaching, including trade of souvenirs made from sea turtle shell. In 2018, however, these practices were still widely found either in tourist objects or subversively in the city.

A nest of the Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) at Bajulmati Beach, South Malang, Indonesia was plundered by poachers on Saturday (8/12/2018)

The illegal fishing using home-made bombs has posed negative impacts on the marine ecosystems. The practice is also detrimental to the communities,

A joint team consisting of Biduk-biduk Police, PROFAUNA Borneo went on a patrol to forestall fish-bombing and sea turtle eggs poaching in the waters of Berau 

PROFAUNA Borneo and Berau Marine Affairs and Fisheries Service have been busy visiting schools in the coast of Berau to educate students about sea turtle conservation.

Officials from Ajidilayas Market went to the scene right away and seized hundreds of Hawksbill Sea Turtle shell-based souvenirs.
