A security officer employed by the Minister of Resources and Rural Authority (MRRA) to supervise and protect the turtle nest, has been dismissed from his job after gross misconduct in the work place. Eye witnesses claim that the man, reportedly drunk, drove towards the site at Gnejna Bay which is declared a maximum protection site, beamed the car lights onto the beach and urinated near the nest, on Sunday morning. Following the unusual event last week, when a Green turtle laid 79 eggs at Gnejna Bay, several restrictions have been imposed there in order to protect the hatchlings.
