Driven by the heartfelt concern for sea turtles from Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, two marine turtle conservation projects have been established in the area under the responsibility of the Royal Thai Navy. Anyone who arrives at the Marine Turtle Conservation Center in Sattahip is sure to smile at the charming entrance designed in the shape of a cheerful turtle. This conservation tourism site is part of the Royal Thai Navy in Sattahip, with the primary goal of protecting sea turtle populations in surrounding areas such as Koh Kram, Koh Ira, and Koh Jan. In addition to various exhibitions presenting a wealth of information about the life cycle, species, and different types of sea turtles, visitors can also see live turtles of all ages, from tiny hatchlings to fully grown turtles ready to be released back into the ocean. Different species, including the green turtle, hawksbill, and olive ridley, are cared for in separate ponds at the turtle nursery. One can witness the dedicated efforts of the staff working tirelessly to preserve the dwindling sea turtle population in Thailand. Rest assured, the center’s mission to instill a love and appreciation for Thailand's sea turtles among everyone will surely succeed. **Must-Visit Attractions** - The Turtle Nursery: Encounter numerous baby turtles in the nursery pools. - Exhibition Room: Learn about the history of the center at this informative spot. - Seaweed Cultivation Farm: Discover various species of algae. The staff goes out every day at 5:30 AM to scout the beaches for turtle eggs. Healthy hatchlings nurtured in the center will be safely released onto the sandy beaches. **Unmissable Activities** - Take photographs with the countless turtle statues scattered throughout the area. - Kick off your shoes and feel the soft sand while strolling along the quiet beach within the Navy's premises. - Shop for souvenirs at the Navy Wives Association store.
