When the eggs are hatched, the conservationists will return them to the natural habitat immediately. Highlights: Currently, tourists are also becoming part of the conservation programme hugely as the awareness about protecting these animals has gained prominence around the island.

Around 80% of them were hatched and released to the ocean. Timings: The nesting season on the beach is from March to September every year and the hatching season is from April to October.
