PHUKET: A nest of leatherback turtle eggs found on Thai Mueang Beach, north of Phuket, is believed to have been laid by the same turtle that came ashore at Mai Khao Beach last Sunday.

 

Prarop Plangngarn, Chief of Phuket Marine National Park Operation Center 2,  explained that officers at the Khao Lampi – Hat Thai Mueang National Park were clearing trash from Thai Mueang Beach on Monday (June 29) when they found turtle tracks on the sand.

 

Just like the tracks found at Mai Khao on Sunday, the tracks at Thai Mueang Beach measured 170 centimetres across, with the shell drags marks measuring 60cm across.
