Turtle Conservation and Night Watch
This project runs on site turtle nesting site monitoring and a turtle hatchery for sea turtles with the aim to protect the turtle eggs and release new born baby turtles into the ocean safely. The Night Watch programme requires lovely people like you as volunteers to monitor the nesting sites and collect turtle eggs. The turtle eggs are incubated in the natural habited or at the hatchery and labelled. Once the baby turtles hatch and are ready, they are released back into the ocean! The hatchery requires considerable amounts of maintenance and needs volunteers to help improve the facilities.
