SEGARI TURTLE CONSERVATION & INFORMATION CENTER
Two turtle species
Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas)
The green sea turtle gets its name from the greenish color of its body fat, not its shell!
This green hue is a result of their diet, which primarily consists of seagrasses and algae. These plants contain pigments that accumulate in the turtle's fat, giving it that characteristic green color.
So, while their shells may range from olive to brown with various patterns, it's the green fat beneath the shell that gives them their name.
Food:
Omnivores
Hatchlings: When they first hatch, green sea turtles are omnivores. They drift in the open ocean and feed on small creatures like:
Jellyfish
Small crustaceans
Fish eggs
Algae
Juveniles: As they grow larger, they gradually shift to a more herbivorous diet. They start to eat more seagrass and algae in coastal waters.
Herbivores
Adults: Adult green sea turtles are unique among sea turtles because they are primarily herbivores. Their diet mainly consists of:
Seagrasses: These are a staple food for green turtles, providing them with essential nutrients and energy.
Algae: They also graze on various types of algae.
Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata)
From the sea of MELAKA
The hawksbill turtle gets its name from its distinctive beak-like mouth, which resembles that of a hawk. This specialized mouth is perfectly adapted for reaching into the cracks and crevices of coral reefs where they find their primary food source: sponge.
Food:
Corals
Sea anemones
Jellyfish
Mollusks (invertebrate animals 软体动物）
Crustaceans （very diverse group of arthropods）甲壳类动物
algae
fish
Skin changes to pink when not in contact with water
Likes neck scratches (like a cat)
Activities
Tutle eggs collection
Incubation/tutle eggs hatching (hatchery):
Rearing/nursing baby turtles
Releasing baby turtles
Rearing turtle at pool
Briefings to tourists/visitors
Activities for visitors:
Beach cleaning
Turtle Pool cleaning
Center area cleaning
Planting of Ambong-ambong tree (Scaevola taccada)
Erosion control: Its extensive root system helps to stabilize sandy shores and prevent erosion caused by waves and wind. This is particularly important in coastal areas where erosion can be a significant problem.
Habitat provision: The Ambong-ambong tree provides shelter and food for various coastal animals, including insects, birds, and small mammals. Its dense foliage offers shade and protection, while its flowers and fruits attract pollinators and seed dispersers.
Traditional medicine: In some cultures, the Ambong-ambong tree is used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments. Its leaves and roots are believed to have medicinal properties that can be used to alleviate pain, inflammation, and other health issues.
Coastal landscaping: Due to its attractive appearance and ability to thrive in coastal environments, the Ambong-ambong tree is often used in landscaping projects to beautify coastal areas and provide shade.
Food source: While not a staple food, the fruits of the Ambong-ambong tree are edible, though they are not considered particularly tasty. In some coastal communities, they may be consumed as a supplementary food source, especially during times of scarcity.
Releasing baby turtles
Awareness Program
Camping activities
Turtle Travel at night
Problems
Not enough employes
Only 4 Employes
Monkeys throw trash into the sea turtles pool, thus making the sea turtles pool dirty
Plastic bags
Food wrapings
The turtles will think the food wrapings and plastic bags is jellyfish and eat it, thus the trash will effect the turtles digesion system thus making the turtle cant digest food also then die
Hard to clean the pools and the sea turtles manualy
suggestion
Make a robot that clean the pool automaticly
invent something that can avoid the monkeys from going into the consevation center
