.:Turtles Can Fly
  At about 10.30am today, we mark the
  release of these healthy and excited turtles
  to a chance of independence and survival.
  It’ll be their first time in the open sea with
  real sea water and the great sunlight.
  These turtles can be visually identified by
  the metal tag on their front flippers to
  easily monitor their progress over the
  years. Their carapace was also painted in
  alphabetical order in bright red for easier
  sightings. ‘Wanted’ posters are being
  circulated to all dive centers around
  Redang Island to help report sightings of
  the released turtles.
  ‘Turtles Can Fly’ is a marine turtle
  conservation project developed and
  conducted by Aquaria KLCC together with
  University Malaysia Terengganu, the
  BodyShop and Media Prima as the official
  media partner. The event was fully
  supported and sponsored by Berjaya Air.
  The green turtle is a large sea turtle that
  extends its population throughout tropical
  and subtropical seas around the world,
  namely the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
  They are green because of their fat
  underneath their shell. These endangered
  species is protected from exploitation in
  most countries worldwide. It is illegal to
  collect, harm or kill individual turtles.
