Expert: Likely 360 turtles killed, not the 12,000 estimated

KOTA KINABALU: About 360 adult turtles were killed, based on the 9,000kg of dried sea turtle meat seized by police during a raid, says turtle conservation expert Dr James Alin.

Alin, an adviser to Friends Of Sea Turtles Education and Research, said the marine police seizure did not reflect the reported estimate of 12,000 turtles killed.
