Turtle facts
1. Sea turtles are ancient reptiles and have been on Earth for over 130 million years.
2. The sex of a turtle is determined by the sand’s temperature… a cool nest is dominantly male, a hot nest is dominantly female
3. The ‘tears’ a female turtle has in her eyes when she comes to shore help her to get rid of the salt she absorbed in the ocean.

It is all about interest ! I am Atwaa Salim back home, having finished my bachelors degree from the university of Nairobi. I am now the co-ordinator of Lamu Marine Conservation Trust. Having volunteered for two years, I found the conservation of the natural resourse inclusive of turtles as very important. We are a group of ten people. We have got 4 guards a captain and a crew, with 3 office bearers. We are all from local communities around Lamu.
