A couple of months back there was a very rare occurance at Apo. A large green sea turtle swam up on the main beach, and proceded to lay her eggs. (they have a very accute sence of exactly when and where to do this) One of the prominant divemasters from Apo, decided,without consultation or juristiction,to re-loccate the "nest". Unfourtunatly,not one, of the over 100 eggs, hatched. Sea turtles are on the Philippines "Endangered Species" list and the touching,harrasment, or disturbance of the creature or its nest or eggs, is punnishable by law. Annother "crime" that, because no one will say anything, will get swept under the carpet....too bad.
