How many of them will survive and return to lay their own eggs is unknown but some estimates are as low as 1%.<br /><br />According to Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC) Veterinarian Sontaya Manawattana “About 80% of the eggs from the nest will hatch and we release the turtles at Karon Beach, where the eggs were laid, the same day that they hatch. The turtles will remember where they were released and will come back to lay eggs at Karon Beach again, if they survive”<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dive-the-world.com/images/blog/leatherback-hatchlings2.jpg" title="leatherback hatchlings"> <br /><br />As often happens in areas where there is human population the turtles are released in the evening so that they are able to use natural light to navigate and they are also less exposed to predators than in the daytime.<br /><br />“The chance that these turtles will survive and come back to lay eggs here is small because after they go into sea they might be eaten by another animal, but that is the cycle of life for leatherback turtles. We try to care for them after they hatch but we haven’t had success with this type of turtle. They will die if we don’t release them into the sea,” K. Sontaya added.<br /><br />Normally leatherback turtles only begin to lay eggs after they have reached reproductive age at around 15 to 20 years old and after laying the eggs take around 60 days to hatch.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dive-the-world.com/images/blog/leatherback-adult.jpg" title="Leatherback adult"> <br /><br />At a time when turtles in general, and leatherbacks in particular, are under serious threat it is particularly pleasing to witness this return to an old nesting site and to see the next generation set off into the blue.<br /><br />Find out more about turtles in our <a href="http://www.dive-the-world.com/creatures-turtles.htm"> Turtle Creature Feature </a><br /><br />Learn more about local diving here:<a href="http://www.divetheworldthailand.com/phuket-diving-sites.htm"> Phuket Dive Sites </a>Dive The Worldtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30513162.post-1164445204976410992006-11-25T15:57:00.000+07:002007-02-21T22:45:56.564+07:00Dive The World is always looking for the best deals to offer you.
