Is your suggestion that they should not have been moved? Or that we should not have hosted the Americas Cup? Or that we should avoid using motor boats and stick with oars?

This has nothing to do with the OBA (or PLP). Unfortunately turtles are killed all the time by boats operated by Bermudians, balloons, furniture (remember the large turtle found drowned off Harbour Road?). BAMZ took the step to remove some turtles from harms way, and must have been successful or there would be reports of dismembered turtles in the Great Sound.

Get real and for once see the reason without being political and try and be positive.

We are trying to be happy living in a beautiful place, but with outside influence trying to force their lifestyle and throw their money around trying to convince us that we are homophobic and racist is just tearing de @$$ out of it.

Who are you calling ‘they’?

I have no idea if any were killed by any boats out on the water. But based on statistics, the whole point was to reduce the risk of that happening the best they could. It’s called prevention. The turtles aren’t in a cage, it’s open water and they have free range to go anywhere. Be realistic.

And BAMZ work for animals, not people. It’s kind of their job. Some people actually believe animals have rights too. Also BAMZ has operated through all governments, not just the OBA. If the government of the day changes, they’ll continue to work for animals.

Oh, and there will always be boats on the water, just not as many or going as fast. They always advocate for marine life and ask marine traffic to look out for turtles.

So many people with so much negativity, did you see the number of Boats in the great sound, thank goodness we could save a bunch of turtles form being exposed to that. Well done Aquarium turtle team.

People you live in a beautiful place, we are blessed, try to be happy.

No they didn’t collect all the turtles that were in The Great Sound……more than a few were still out there getting injured during the last 6 six weeks with the increased marine traffic.

Sounds like invading a community, breaking up families, taking them out of their natural enviroment, putting your identity on them to monitor them and incarcerate them for being green.
Mmmmmmm
Sounds familiar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did your research for you. The above article says 38 were returned to the Great Sound, and another eight to the east (total=46). Where does that say ‘all’?

And here’s a quote from BAMZ from their May 10, 2017 statement:

“It is not thought possible to collect every turtle considering that based on visual observations there are likely several hundred. Naturally, some turtles will not be captured and some may enter the Sound after the collection period ends. The aim is to try to protect as many turtles as possible.”

Yes. They were caught in the Sound. They were at the back of the Aquarium for 6 weeks and now they are released. The Bermuda Turtle Project tags a few hundred turtles every year. The Aquarium do this type of stuff all the time. It is pretty standard for them.

They never claimed to. In fact they very clearly stated that they knew they couldn’t remove all of them in the articles leading up to their transfer. Go back and research. They’re not making any false claims here. Big assumptions, and you know what they say.

You are going to tell me they took all the turtles out of the great sound those more lies for the OBA
