The Padang Kemunting Hawksbill Turtles Management Center is located somewhere near Pangkalan Balak at the beach along the Straits of Malacca. There is a hatchery center where eggs of the Hawksbill turtles are collected and taken good care till they are hatched. There is an exhibition hall too and the center is open to public from Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00am-4.00pm.
turtle's eggs are buried and incubated here
date and number of eggs are labeled
It takes 50-60 days for the turtles' eggs to hatch.
In the evening, around 6pm, we were invited to release the baby turtles back to the sea. I was really touched by the scene when the little creatures squirmed their way heading towards the sea. It's such an amazing scene..........
