DID YOU KNOW? PHILIPPINE BEACHES ARE HOME TO SEA TURTLES OVER 100 MILLION YEARS OLD!
Puerto Galera, Apo Island, and Turtle Islands in Tawi-Tawi are among the most important sea turtle nesting sites in the Philippines!
These shores host endangered species like the hawksbill and green sea turtles, which return to these coastal zones to lay eggs.
Thanks to conservation efforts, more hatchlings are surviving today—but plastic pollution and illegal poaching remain serious threats.
Protecting these nesting sites means safeguarding a species that has existed for over 100 million years—a true living treasure of the ocean.
