As soon as one is found dead on the shore it is taken in to be tested. People here do morning and evening walks on the beach called Turtle Watch to find turtles, eggs, or markings by the turtles. Each year the totals go down drastically in turtle egg laying. I personally would not want one stuff on my wall but to each his one. I know seeing one in the water everytime takes my breath away. People wanting them stuffed makes a market for the capture of them and killing them just for that and other reasons. I would highly suggest a relic...thats my two cents.
