Island reef staff recently discovered the first nesting activities in recent years on Yongxing Island and Zhaoshu Island. This season, a total of 81 sea turtle nests have been recorded, marking an impressive increase of 30 nests compared to the same period last year.
Green turtles, designated as first-class protected animals in China, are key players in marine biodiversity. With five out of the seven sea turtle species found in China's waters, their vibrant return is a win for conservation and a sign that marine habitats are getting healthier.
