In the past, four types of sea turtles were found along the Myanmar Coast; Green turtle (Chelonia mydas), Logger head (Caretta caretta), Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) and Leatherback (Dermochely coriacea). At present only green turtles and loggerheads remain. The other are almost extinct due to undisciplined poaching and killing of sea turtles by poachers |
