Sea turtle found dead in Tyre after swallowing plastic bags
A sea turtle was found dead off the southern coast of Tyre, facing Queen Elissa Hotel on Sunday after swallowing plastic bags. Sea turtles are prone to mistaking plastic bags for jellyfish, one of their favourite foods.   

Tyre’s mayor Engineer Hassan Dabbouq inspected the location where the turtle was found and regretted this incident that is repeated day after day and is “due to the heinous behavior of citizens and sea-goers who throw plastic bags and waste in the sea and on the shores in a total disregard of nature.”
