~ TURTLE RELEASE ~ . One of our star inters Katie releases a critically endangered Hawksbill Turtle raised in our Turtle Head Start Program. . Head Start Programs rear turtles until they are larger, improved divers and more agile in nature- all giving them a better chance of survival in the wild. . Why do we do this work? Sea turtles are threatened for a variety of reasons, and 6 out of 7 species are endangered- 1 is data deficient. Plastic pollution and the fishing industry are big contributors to these facts, amongst other influences. Our goal is to help turtles survive to adulthood, and hopefully reach sexual maturity so we can see many more generations of sea turtles in future. . Seeing our turtle babies released is a magical experience. If you’d like to visit, feeding happens at 10.30am daily. Thank you so much to our good friend @aquaticimages for the shots! . If you’d like to get involved in our work, our know more about what we do check out our website- the links are above!

This has to be one of the cleanest turtle shells we have ever seen... Maybe the remora on his back is always around to keep up that wax job. #IDCwithkim #scubacenterasia #scubaturtle #theturtlelife #turtleycool #underwaterturtle #beachturtle #hawksbillturtle #turtleyawesome #turtleninja #bigturtle #savetheseaturtles #turtlegram #iloveturtles #greenturtle #turtlelover #turtleshell #turtleturtle #turtlelife #turtletime #turtleisland #seacreature #liveitup #daytrip #discoverbali #nusaislands #explorelembongan #nusalembonganisland #islandholiday

. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY THIS TURTLE IS WIGGLING BACK AND FORTH? It was the first time that I came across a turtle which looked like it was having an itchy shell. I would presume this is because it will shed its shell soon but I'm not sure. . . . . . #divingkomodo #komodonationalpark #divingkomodo #hawksbillturtle #turtlelovers #seaturtles #turtlelover #turtletuesday #realdiving #mares #oceantherapy #bluemind #ssi #indounderwater #underwatervideographer #sealover #indounderwater #underwatershortvideos #underwatercamerawomen #plongee.tv @divingphoto #mermaidliveaboards @mermaidliveaboards #nauticam.images @nauticamhousings #panasonicgh4

Today we celebrate the Hawksbill Sea Turtle! As a throwback thursday here are some photos of our latest hawksbill patient named Leonidus. Leo is a critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtle that stranded on May 12, 2018 and was brought in by one of our summer interns Lauren Losito. Leo had ingested shells and vegetation that got stuck in the turtle's GI tract. After administering mineral oil and giving it some time, Leo finally passed the impaction and was ready to return to the ocean in October 2018! Celebrate the beautiful hawksbill turtle and learn about the turtleshell trade on June 13th.

Throw back to a very special day last week! . Our first Hawksbill from our Turtle Head-start Program was ready for release, and boy, were we excited! Jeanne was the lucky intern who released this little guy into the big old blue. . Turtles naturally have around a 1 in 1,000 chance of surviving to the age of three years- it's tough odds for these beautiful little reptiles! . Headstart programs like ours help turtles by giving them a 'headstart' to have a good chance of survival in the wild. They reduce mortality yet provide the necessary factors for their proper development. . If you'd like more information, or would like to get involved- check out our website. The link is in our bio! thanks to our good friend Andy at @aquatic_images for this beautiful shot, it was great to have you with us on this special day!
