Five of the seven species of turtles use Sri Lanka’s coastline as nesting beds. These include Leatherback Turtles, Green Turtles, Loggerhead Turtles, Hawksbill Turtles and Olive Ridley Turtle. All five species are endangered and need conservation as they are subject to entanglement in fishing gear, poached for meat, shells and eggs, losing of coastal habitats, polluted seas and Global warming. The Turtle Hatchery aims to protect sea turtle eggs and increase hatching rates. It also cares for injured or disabled turtles who are unable to fend for themselves. Key nesting areas are patrolled by staff at the Turtle Hatchery at night, seeking to protect Sea Turtles through the egg laying process.
