Next stop was the Koggala Sea Turtle Conservation Centre. A haven for injured turtles. Turtles of different ages, some held until they are well enough to be released back into the sea, others whose only survival could be within these walls.
What looked like a turtle graveyard was actually a protected area for buried eggs awaiting incubation. Wow this Olive and Ridley are very productive turtles as many of the “headstones” had their names on them. It took a while before the penny dropped that Olive Ridley was a type of turtle!
