PHUKET: Similan National Park officials at Koh Si Island in Phang Nga yesterday morning (Mar 15) found 129 sea turtle eggs along a beach pathway to the island’s Nui beach, reported Similan National Park Chief Ruamsilp Manajongprasert.

 

“At 7:30am today (Mar 15), Similan National Park officials found 129 sea turtle eggs had been laid along a path to Nui Beach, near where a tired sea turtle was spotted on Mar 12,” Mr Ruamsilp reported.

 

“It is not known what species of sea turtle the eggs belong to, however, it is believed to be a different turtle to that sighted on Monday as the trails near the eggs are smaller in size.
