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. |
