Thai Navy Launches Sea Turtle Conservation Program
"The number of sea turtles has increased since the project was set up in 1992."- Article
In Thailand, the navy is protecting thousands of baby sea turtles from being killed by humans before they can swim out to sea.
Once born, the new baby turtles are collected and moved to tanks where they are given special care by the navy -- from a good brushing off of sand to feeding and even applying anti-fungus cream to the turtle's mouth.

Jun 24 WONDERFUL that the Thai Navy is doing such a great job in protecting these little guys so their small odds of surviving will increase. It seems there ought to be a law making the catching of baby creatures illegal!!!- Ed Lee
