The turtle will not be able to eat properly due to excessive barnacles.

Chika Boy uses a cleaver knife to carefully prise off each barnacle.

Chika Boy then brings the turtle back to the beach, where its captured happily scurrying towards the ocean.

Thanks to the kind nature lover, these vulnerable sea creatures have someone to look out for them.
