They’re so cute! Some people capture them and put them in a basin of water and seawater for a week or so. That gives the baby turtles time to harden their carapaces (shells). Then those people release them in the sea.
With hardened carapaces, the baby turtles have a higher chance of growing up into healthy adults since they won’t become easy-to-chew prey for many ocean predators.

Yes actually that is better…but here in Maldives the law…only allows one (or two i guess) resort to keep the turtles till they are strong enough to be out in the wilds….sadly…one of those hotels is our sister property in the northern part of Maldives….here in our property in the South we are only allowed to keep and protect the eggs till they hatch…then we have to let them go after 48hrs or so

Well, there are mixed reactions about keeping the babies until their carapaces harden. I already explained about the “positive” one.
But according to Romeo Trono, executive director of Conservation International, said this should not be done as it interferes with nature’s way. If turtles have survived this way for millions of years, then we don’t need to disturb that process. He also has a very valid point.
