The animal is over 17kg in weight, about 60cm in length and 44cm in width. It was found by a local fisherman in his net on late September 15.

After that, the fisherman handed over the reptile to the forestry protection division of Hai Ha district.

The green sea turtle, scientific name Chelonia mydas, is an endangered species in need of protection.

Recently, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has approved a programme for conserving endangered sea turtles species of Vietnam until 2015, with a vision to 2030.

The programme aims to protect and sustainably develop the populations of the endangered species and their habitats, thereby helping to protect biodiversity in the country.
