23 May 2006: Turtle Hatchling Rescue at East Coast Park
A phone call leads to three hours of salvaging turtle hatchlings heading
inland instead of out to sea, presumably misguided by the burning lights of
Singapore. Some very public spirited members of the public work hard to
recover tha hatchlings and calls for help are heeded by NParks and other
members of the community from Blue Water Volunteers, Nature Society
(Singapore) and NUS’ Raffles Museum.
All are hoping that some will survive to grow out and finally return to lay
eggs after three decades to a very different Singapore coastline!
