Rebuilding Our Community

We were thrilled to have sea turtle nests from a green turtle (Chelonia mydas) at our private beach from February to May 2020.

The five nests that were discovered in February and March 2020 contained 600 eggs and a total of 269 hatchlings returned to sea in April and May 2020.

In partnership with Thailand’s Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, we monitored the nests to protect them from predatory species such as water monitors and birds until the hatchlings emerged.
