Great initiative

It's a great initiative by the volunteers. Went there and saw how well kept the turtles are. The volunteers also explained us each and every things from the egg hatching to the point where the turtles are eventually let go in the ocean. Amazing.. keep up the good work guys!!!!

    Sea turtle project visit
    This is a bit tricky, spread accross the entire beach line there are many turtle hatcheries, we visited one paid 1000 srilankan rupees for a 20 mins tour. Overall concept seems to be good, however its questionable since they purpose of most of these hat heries seem to be to make money at expense of turtles. They were even allowing folks to hold baby turtles and eggs which seemed incorrect and a money making ploy
