Hawks Bill Sea Turtles
An endangered species, the Green Sea Turtle are bred in captivity on Treasure Island and are housed in a Turtle Pond for a period of 12 months to protect them from natural predators. Treasure Island and the local Fisheries Department have a program to protect these species, and when they are mature enough to survive in the wild, they are tagged and released. The turtles lay eggs only every three years.
In early March 2002, a very surprised guest in Bure 56 reported seeing 200 recently hatched baby turtles making their way across the front of their bure towards the beach! |
This man was our welcome to Treasure Island as well as the last person we saw as we were boated away. | | |
