We have come to almost the end of turtle season for 2016

Bali Sea Turtle Society (BSTS) is an organisation running a conservation program for endangered sea turtles. It is a local organisation, run by local people.
We relocate sea turtle eggs from the beach to a central hatchery, to protect the eggs and increase hatching rates.

The eggs take between 45-60 days to develop and hatch. This is a natural process and we can not predict when the eggs will hatch.

Now we have come to almost the end of turtle season for 2016. There are only 7 nests left in the hatchery at the Kuta Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center. These nests are with small clutch size and are estimated to hatch randomly until end of November.

For the baby turtle release dates on Kuta Beach please get the information on site, by checking at the Kuta Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Centre (Map  https://goo.gl/RjodSs). We will not publish release information as there is only a small number of eggs to hatch.

We thank you for your interest in sea turtle conservation.

What?
When the baby sea turtles hatch we want to return them to their natural habitat quickly. We release the baby turtles into the ocean the as soon as posible. You can join in the baby turtle release.

The baby sea turtle release begins at the Kuta Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Centre.
