Do not lend a hand to harming the animals:
Omri Omsi, inspector of the Eilat Sea Area at the Nature and Parks Authority: Abuse of an underwater animal, which is a protected natural value and a world endangered species. They documented and reported the case to us. Thanks to documenting the act in real time, we were able to arrest the citizen and investigate him.
"When we meet rare animals, we enjoy being close to them and watching them, but we must not make contact, ride on them or stand in their way. The Nature and Parks Authority makes great efforts to preserve the protected turtles at the Sea Turtle Rescue Center in Mikhmoret. We track and document them. And very happy to see that the public enjoys them.
"It is important that the public help us preserve the natural values we are privileged to see at sea, as did the two citizens who approached us. If you find an injured or distressed animal, report to the Nature and Parks Authority 3639 *."
