 When you think of Hong Kong, you probably don’t think of wildlife, right? But one
of Hong Kong’s islands, Lamma Island, is also home to endangered green sea turtles.
Between June and October, they come to the island’s Sham Wan beach to lay their eggs.
Special nature police must keep people away from the turtles.At nesting time, you
shouldn’t go near the beach. If the police see you, you have to pay a fine, which can be a
lot of money. However, the police aren’t always there to protect the area. The biggest
problem is human behavior. Boat parties play loud music, and tourists go swimming and
have picnics, which frighten the turtles away. Scientists and conservationist groups say we
need a bigger restricted* area to help the turtles survive.
Experts agree that green sea turtles in Hong Kong are in danger. The turtles are
disappearing. One scientist said, “When a turtle is afraid of going onto the beach, it has

to lay its eggs underwater, where they die.” In 2006, there were 14 records of nesting

turtles in Sham Wan beach but only 2 after that, and not a single turtle has been seen since
2012. Another expert said that the number of turtles should increase in the future because
now people are working on creating a better relationship with the turtles.
*restricted adj. with limits, closed-off
