Located along Sri Lanka’s southern coastline, the Turtle Hatchery is dedicated to the conservation of endangered sea turtles. The hatchery plays a vital role in protecting species like Green, Olive Ridley, and Hawksbill turtles, which nest on Sri Lanka’s beaches.

Visitors to the hatchery can learn about the incredible journey of these marine creatures, from egg collection to the safe release of baby turtles back into the sea. The hatchery also raises awareness about the threats turtles face, such as habitat loss, pollution, and poaching.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Sri Lanka’s coastline, the hatchery offers a peaceful environment for visitors to reflect on conservation efforts. Watching baby turtles being gently released into the ocean is a moving experience that underscores the importance of preserving these ancient creatures.

A visit to the Turtle Hatchery not only provides an opportunity to learn about marine conservation but also contributes to the protection of Sri Lanka’s rich biodiversity and the future of these incredible sea turtles.
