Measures focus on the protection and management of foraging grounds.
Members of the community are encouraged to look out for nests along the beaches and report any sightings to KWS rangers. The hatched turtles are then released into the sea by KWS officials in the presence of visitors and local people. Sea turtles have lived in the oceans for at least 150 million years. They are found in ocean waters off all the continents with the exception of Antarctica. They cover great distances foraging across the seas mainly for jelly fish, sponges, sea grasses, algae and pelagic crustaceans.
