Turtles normally live in shallow marine habitats, there are several turtle conservation projects and hatcheries on the Southern coastal areas of Sri Lanka. The eggs collected by the villagers in these areas are bought by the hatcheries to be hatched in protected shelters and the hatched young are released to the sea.

ReplyDeleteThank goodness some people are looking after the Turtle eggs! They do need protecting from their natural predators and also from people who collect them to sell.
