2350 turtles released after rehab
The United Arab Emirates celebrated World Sea Turtle Day by releasing 23 rehabilitated turtles as part of the Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project, which has successfully saved and returned over 2,350 turtles to their natural habitats since its launch in 2004. During the event, a green turtle fitted with a satellite tracking device named "Foxy" was released after more than a year of treatment, in order to enhance scientific knowledge about turtle migration routes. Additionally, conservation efforts have achieved success in hatching turtle eggs in the Fujairah Reserves, with a hatchling success rate of approximately 98%, in parallel with monitoring and documenting nesting patterns and leveraging partnerships between government entities and the private sector.
