Bali Turtle Hatchery, Pemuteran

The Bali Turtle Hatchery in Pemuteran is a conservation initiative aimed at protecting and preserving the endangered sea turtle population in Bali. Located in the northwest village of Pemuteran, the hatchery is part of several local efforts to protect marine life. The project involves collecting turtle eggs from beaches, where they are often at risk from predators and human activity, and safely incubating them at the hatchery. Once the eggs hatch, the young turtles are nurtured in a controlled environment until they are strong enough to be released back into the wild, which helps improve their chances of survival. In addition to these efforts, the hatchery emphasizes education and community involvement by raising awareness about marine conservation and the role of sea turtles in the ecosystem. Visitors can even participate in releasing the young turtles, offering a hands-on way to support conservation and contribute to the local economy through eco-tourism. This combination of conservation, education, and sustainable tourism has made the Bali Turtle Hatchery a valuable part of both the local ecosystem and community.
