Der Prozess rund um das im Mai 2007 in Kalimantan gestoppte chinesische Boot mit beinahe 400 toten Meeresschildkröten an Bord ist abgeschlossen. Der Kapitän des Bootes wurde zu 4 Jahren Haft verurteilt. Das Boot samt Ausrüstung wurde beschlagnahmt und die Schildkröten wurden verbrannt. Die Bootsmannschaft wurde schon vor Prozessbeginn frei gelassen. Sie waren nur Handlanger, taten was der Captain ihnen sagte und wussten offenbar nicht, dass Meeresschildkröten geschützt sind.

Zerfetzte Meeresschildkröten sind die Folge von der in Indonesien zwar verbotenen aber leider immer noch häufig betriebenen Bombenfischerei. Am 9. und 29. September wurde vor Sangalaki jeweils eine tote subadulte Schildkröte gefunden (40 cm lang + 36 cm breit / 30 cm lang + 25 cm breit). Beide wurden wahrscheinlich durch Unterwasserbomben getötet.
