A nest of green turtles has hatched on the beach at Maldives luxury resort, JA Manafaru. The green turtles matter to the marine ecosystem as they graze on seagrasses and algae. The turtles maintain the seagrass beds and make them more productive, thus keeping them healthy. According to JA Manafaru, happily, the turtles have gone off to explore the Maldivian ocean!
While green turtles do enjoy seagrass and algae, they also enjoy the occasional jellyfish. However, green turtles have been known to die after digesting something that looks like jellyfish. And what could that be? Unfortunately, plastic bags. Despite them occasionally being found in the reefs and lagoons of the Maldives, green turtles are an endangered species and protected in the Maldives.
JA Manafaru features a Marine Awareness Centre to conserve local ecology. Furthermore, there are marine conservation initiatives in the Maldives such as Olive Ridley Project to protect sea turtles and their habitats in the Indian Ocean through rescue and rehabilitation as well.
