A 12-kg rare green sea turtle was released into the natural waters of the Hon Cau marine protected area, in Lien Huong commune, Lam Dong province, on August 12, following its rescue from a local power plant.
In recent years, to raise public awareness of marine conservation and sea turtle protection, the Hon Cau Marine Protected Area has actively engaged local residents and volunteers in beach patrols and nest ground monitoring. Thanks to these efforts, thousands of baby turtles have been successfully hatched and released back into the sea.
A rare green sea turtle, weighing nearly 20 kilograms, was successfully rescued and released back into the ocean by the Con Co Island Marine Reserve Management Board on November 19.
Three rare sea turtles, including two hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) and one green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), were released into the waters off Phan Thiet city, the south central province of Binh Thuan on June 26.
