BABY TURTLE RELEASE
Bali Sea Turtle Society (BSTS) is an organisation, run by local Indonesians for the conservation of endangered sea turtles. We work across the entire island of Bali with locals in different regions to protect sea turtles.
At the Kuta Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Centre (Map: [ Ссылка ] ) our mission is to protect nesting sea turtles and their eggs to increase hatching and release rates. We also aim to educate people about sea turtle protection, including the protection of natural habitats.
The endangered species of sea turtles nesting on Kuta Beach are Olive Ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea). We relocate sea turtle eggs laid on Kuta and the surrounding beaches to a central hatchery. The eggs take 45-60 days to develop and hatch naturally.
Sea turtle nesting season is from approximately March to September each year. Sea turtle hatching season is from approximately April to October each year.
We can not predict the hatching dates for a nest and therefore can not predict baby sea turtle release dates in advance. The baby turtle release events do not happen every day.
Now we are on the out of the turtle season. Keep checking the update on our Facebook Page @baliseaturtlesociety
We thank you for your interest in sea turtle conservation.
