Album Info:
These hatchlings will then have to fend for themselves until they are mature enough to mate and return back to the Turtle Islands. The hatcheries are situated 50 feet away from the high water mark. Each pit is 30 inches deep, fenced around with wire mesh and identified by a bamboo marker bearing the serial number of the nest, collection date and number of eggs. After an incubation period of between 50 and 60 days, the hatchlings dig their way up to the surface of the pit, usually at night, when the sand is cooler.
