More turtle eggs found Toddler rescued from pool

A NEW turtle nest with 89 eggs was found on the Marge Roig beach in Denia on Friday, July 21. Beach cleaners found the nest during their morning duties, and notified the Marine Environmental and Fisheries Service, who in turn contacted Oceanografic in Valencia and the University of Valencia to arrange collection of the eggs.

It is very likely that the eggs were laid by a turtle called Diana, the first turtle that appeared and has spawned twice already on the beaches of Denia. She first laid 80 eggs on June 18 and returned weeks later to lay another clutch of 85 eggs.

It is the fourth nest found on Denia’s beaches this summer.

PARAMEDICS saved the life of a twoyear ­ old boy on Friday, July 21, who was found drowning in a swimming pool campsite in Benidorm.

The incident occurred at around 8.15pm, when the CICU (Emergency Information and Coordination Centre) received notice that a child with symptoms of drowning had been removed from the swimming pool of a public campsite in the town.

Members of the public who were staying at the campsite helped administer first aid to the child until the medical team arrived. They stabilised the toddler and he was later transferred to the Marina Baixa hospital in Villajoyosa.
