Plastic debis of diferent color were acquire from the gut contents of the
deceased green tule from Brgy. Lapulapu, Agdae, Davao aly. There wore fve

plastic materials are commonly floating on surfaced and also abundant on sea floors
which are both utlized by green turtles. Thus, this could only mean that the increase
of solid plastic waste materials in the area also increases the possibility and
percentage of the C. mydes accidentally ingesting the plastic materials.
