RELEASE OF PAWIKAN HATCHLINGS AT SUBIC BAY FREEPORT.
Participants in the upcoming Century Tuna 70.3 Triathlon take time off from training to help release into the sea Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, last Wednesday morning, along with Environment Specialist Rhea Jane Mallari (center in blue shirt) of the SBMA Ecology Center. Around 150 newly-hatched Olive Ridleys, which are among the endangered species of sea turtles or “pawikan”, have been released at Dungeree Beach, which will be the kick-off site for the Century Tuna 70.3 Triathlon on Sunday, March 6.
