Hawksbill Turtles



Turtle Beach is where hawksbill turtles come up to nest. The conservatory located there then hatched the eggs and releases the hatchlings after a few days in the hopes that some will survive to replenish the dwindling turtle population.

The hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is a critically endangered sea turtle belonging to the family Cheloniidae. It is the only species in its genus. The species has a worldwide distribution, with Atlantic and Pacific subspecies. Eretmochelys imbricata imbricata is the Atlantic subspecies, while Eretmochelys imbricata bissa is found in the Indo-Pacific region
