Juvenile green turtles who joined the Sea turtle care center last March and April from Tetiaroa, Moorea and Taravao are in good health and are almost ready to be released! A release we will keep you informed about in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When hatchlings arrive at the Care center, they weight barely 20 grams and measure approximately 5 cm. It is during the egg-laying season, and in particular on Tetiaroa, that hatchlings are found too weak to reach the sea.<\/p>\n

They are then brought to the Care center in order to monitor their health and growth. Depending on the individuals and on the pathologies, the release takes place around 6 months after hatching with the approval of the Direction de l’Environnement Polyn\u00e9sie Fran\u00e7aise<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
