Trivia

• It has been estimated that around 30,000 marine turtles are killed every year because of trawl nets meant to fish out shrimp.

The turtles become entangled in the nets and drown. This has placed a strain on the population of turtles, officially classifying the hawksbill turtles as endangered.
