At the Thameehla Island Sea Turtle Conservation Site in Hainggyikyun, Ayeyawady Region, researchers have recorded 137 sea turtle nests, the highest in the last five years. Alongside preserving nesting spots, the site operates an egg incubation program for conservation purposes at the Kyakan shore.
The Thameehla Island is the largest marine turtle nesting site in the Fisheries Department. The department not only educates residents about the life and habits of marine turtles and the environmental effects on their survival but also offers rewards to anyone who reports the discovery of turtle nests. Due to local cooperation, these efforts have yielded positive results, the officer acknowledged.
