The Green Turtle mother weighing 90 kg, an endangered species, returned to Nhon Hai beach in Quy Nhon city to lay her eggs on the evening of May 21. The turtles were discovered by locals and reported to the Coral and Sea Turtle Protection Group. Members of the group came to protect the turtles from laying their eggs and then relocated the nest to a zoned area at Mui Con beach for hatching.
Sea turtle conservation expert at IUCN stated that adult female turtles swim long distances during the reproductive stage and often return to their birthplace to lay eggs. The mother turtle may return multiple times, making it crucial for Community Organization in Nhon Hai commune to monitor and protect them. Sea turtle breeding season usually starts in May and lasts until September and October.
In 2021, five sea turtles have come ashore in Nhon Hai commune to lay their eggs, with successful hatching rates and safe returns of baby turtles to the sea. The local government is excited about sea turtles returning near residential areas while maintaining efforts towards protecting these endangered species. Plans are being made for marine eco-tourism around sea turtle breeding grounds, which will help raise awareness and support conservation efforts for these threatened species.
