Published focus

The Turtle Conservation and Education Center (TCEC) states that it was opened by the Governor of Bali on 20 January 2006 on Serangan Island as part of a strategy to tackle the turtle trade. Its website cites support from WWF, the Bali provincial government, the conservation agency (BKSDA) and the Serangan community, and an aim of creating livelihoods for local people other than the turtle trade.

Understanding its work

The website describes caring for injured turtles in recovery tanks with veterinary support from Udayana University, moving nests from busy beaches to a semi-natural hatchery, and releasing hatchlings to the sea. It names three species found in Bali: green, hawksbill and olive ridley turtles. TCEC also offers visits, a hatchling adoption programme, internships and school education.

Before you contact

TCEC's official website runs on the Jimdo platform and its information is brief; confirm visit times, the hatchling adoption programme or internships directly through the listed contact. Sea turtles are protected, so stranded or traded turtles should also be reported to BKSDA Bali. Inclusion here is not a partnership, a recommendation or an assurance of capacity.
