Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a man and a woman who intentionally ran over sea turtle nests and nesting seabird chicks on the beach at Anna Maria Island, Florida on Saturday, June 27.
The incident, which occurred between Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach beginning at approximately 10:30pm, left five nests laid by endangered loggerhead sea turtles damaged and killed two black skimmer chicks.
“We need to stop people terrorizing diminishing populations of threatened and endangered wildlife. These people are criminals and should be dealt with as criminals to send a strong message that maiming and killing wildlife is a serious crime,” said Sea Shepherd founder and senior strategic advisor for Sea Shepherd USA, Captain Paul Watson.
Sea Shepherd is asking the public to please contact Holmes Beach Police Department at 941-708-5804 with any information regarding this incident.
