Belitung and Sea Turtle Release

We were behind schedule due to rough seas the night before, yet were still welcomed grandly by the people of Belitung.


We then snorkeled at a nearby island, seeing various types of fish I need to research to identify.


We met these cuties.


Oh my goodness!

Green and hawkbill sea turtle release.

I added verbal encouragement to make sure they made it.



There were two gentlemen present who volunteer in Belitung to guard the beach at night in order to collect the sea turtle eggs to protect them from animal and human predators.  They incubate these eggs to hatch, then raise them until they can be released.
