Turtle poachers fined, vehicles forfeited, in ‘pivotal’ sentencing
Two turtle poachers have been fined and had their boat and truck forfeited, in what Department of Environment officers call a “pivotal” step forward for conservation enforcement.
Osberne Alex Scott and Shaun Matthias Moore, who fatally speared a female green sea turtle in January last year, were fined $4,566 between them.
Chief Magistrate Angelyn Hernandez, who passed sentence on 25 March, also ordered that the men’s Honda truck, boat, boat engine and speargun, which had been seized in the investigation, be forfeited to government. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
