Seven Sea Turtles Released in Penghu
Posted on 2026-06-16 18:12:15
Seven protected sea turtles have been released back into the ocean in Penghu
as part of activities marking World Sea Turtle Day today.

The turtles, including one hawksbill and six green sea turtles, had
previously been rescued after suffering injuries or becoming stranded due to
rough weather or ill health.

Officials say the animals were treated and rehabilitated before being cleared
for release at Shili Beach.

More than 100 teachers and students joined local officials to watch the
turtles return to the sea despite rainy and windy weather.

The event also included educational activities aimed at promoting marine
conservation and protecting endangered wildlife.

Officials say Penghu has cared for nearly 700 protected sea turtles since
establishing its rescue center in 1997, with more than 400 successfully
returned to the wild.
