two days old sea turtles
Join us to protect the turtles worldwide
We warmly welcome you to the paradise Sri Lanka and to the Sea Turtle Conservation Research Project to get more knowledge about this animals and the turtle egg hatching process.
Our project is situated in the south of Bentota, in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka in the Indian Oceans blue waters area. The main purpose of our project is to incubate turtle eggs and release the baby turtles to the sea. Apart from that, we show foreign volunteers about the turtle hatchery sea plants and how to protect the coastal environment.
Within Sri Lanka, the coastal zone in the south, from Mount Lavinia to Arugam Bay is the most favoured turtle nesting area, with about 30 identified areas in this zone. Among these areas, Bentota, Induruwa and Kosgoda are very significant, because these areas are preferred by all the five species of turtles, recorded in Sri Lanka, so special attention is needed in these areas, as they are hotspots for turtle nesting.

Colombo is the largest city and the financial and commercial capital of Sri Lanka.
Colombo remains both the commercial and financial capital of Sri Lanka even after the administrative capital has been moved to Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte, a suburb east of the city.
Colombo is a huge, sprawling city, which can be visited any time of year due to its tropical climate. The heat is often excruciating, and traffic and pollution intense. These combined and without careful planning Colombo can easily become a nightmarish experience for an average traveler. To avoid this, do not carry heavy luggage, do not plan to walk any significant distances and take measures to deal with the heat and/or rain, such as bringing ice water, sunglasses, plastic slippers, sunblock, umbrella etc.
