Sea Turtles in Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project | Sri Lanka
Kosgoda sea turtle conservation project has undertaken a noble endeavour of facilitating the hatching, adopting and releasing of endangered sea turtles in Sri Lanka. They utilize several tanks to adopt the little ones until they are ready to set free to find their home.

Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project in Sri Lanka.
Dudley Perera's project has been underway since 1988. The main aim of the project is to monitor local sea turtle activity and conserve the local nesting sites. We aim to make the public more aware of how endangered these beautiful creatures are and just how important it is to help protect them before it is too late.
One of the most important activities of the project is its hatchery. Within the sanctuary of the project, collected and rescued eggs can hatch safely away from predators before being released into the sea. In addition, a certain number from each hatching are kept back for a short period for 'headstarting' before release.
The hatchery program is designed to maximise the number of hatchlings reaching the sea and surviving through the critical stages of their early life.
Only a few hatchlings from each batch will ever make it to adulthood. Therefore every nest-ground, every egg, every hatchling and every turtle is crucial to the survival of the species. Unfortunately, sea turtles face many dangers.
The project's work relies on fundraising and grants. Every year, the project helps clear and maintain the local beach, protecting vital nesting-grounds (particularly important after the devastation of the Tsunami) and releases thousands of hatchlings. When you consider how long the project has been going, you can begin to understand the impact the project has!
The project is also resilient having survived the devastation of The Boxing Day tsunami of 26 December 2004.

Sri Lanka - 2011, Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project 2/2
In 2011 I volunteered at a sea turtle conservation project on Kosgoda Beach in Sri Lanka, this video is part 2 of 2 showing 50 baby hatchlings, no more than 3 days old being released at sunset on the beach just outside the project enclosure, sorry about the bad quality on close up's, the camera I had at the time didn't have focus, but I hope you enjoy watching anyway.

On the way to Hikkaduwa we found this Turtle conservation project, right next to the beach, where some volunteers take care of the sea turtles and help them to return to the sea. Right now, six of the seven turtle species are considered threatened due to human actions, and five of this species go every year to lay their eggs in the beautiful beaches of Sri Lanka. Because of this, Sri Lanka is considered a very good place for turtle watching, especially in the south, in a place called Rekawa and in the northwest, in a place called Kalpitiya.
