[quote:Anonymous Coward 16433197:MV8xOTExMjM3X0MxQ0IyNkU1] ..A NESTING ground on Christmas Island for green turtles and vulnerable Hawksbill turtles has been trashed by tonnes of rubbish on the beach. The footage is taken on Greta Beach, Christmas Island, by Paul Nicholas of Queensland. He was holidaying on Christmas Island, visiting his daughter and family and they went for a picnic on the beach. The kids started playing with all the plastic trash and were amazed to find turtles struggling to emerge from their nest to the waters edge. The turtles were hemmed in by tonnes of man-made rubbish - mainly plastic bottles, bags, nets and thongs. . http://www.news.com.au/national/hatchling-turtles-trapped-on-beach/story-e6frfkvr-1226411458219 I can't find anymore on this story.
