This year, total nesting recorded at 417 nests, highest
ever recorded even since 2004. That is nearly 250% of
increased compared to 2004 when the programme just get
started.
After all the hard works by the staff (we worked every night
covered 7pm to 5am in the morning), we finally had our small
BBQ event to celebrated our achievement.
Thank to all tourists/visitors that continues to give supports
through donations and their encouragements. We apologized
to visitors that didn't managed to see turtle nesting or baby
turtle released during their stay. We had tried our best to
accompromised our conservation work and the tourism
interest over the sea turtle.
Our aim in this program are:
1. Protected the habitats (nesting sites & coral reefs)
2. Increase the success nesting (only we reduce the
disturbance that may cause from human)
3. Increase hatching success (by produce more baby
turtle)
Nearly 400 green turtle baby turtles were released on Aug 19, 2009.
