Bluewave Seaturtles Hatchery - Wellabada, Boossa

in steem-atlas •  14 days ago  (edited)

Greetings everyone,

20250226_172611.jpg

I hope you are all well. Today I am going to share with you about the place where turtles are raised called bluewave. This place is located near the main road, close to our village. Therefore, villagers and other tourists come here every day to see the turtles. The weather today was not so good. The whole environment was gloomy. The sun was shining brightly in the morning, but it rained during the day, which made the evening gloomy. But since our family had decided to go to the turtles' hatchery this evening, we went to see the turtles and walk on the beach in the evening, regardless of the weather.

The turtle breeding site is located about 1 km from our house. So we can reach this site in a very short time. We left home at around 4.30 pm to see the turtles.

These two pictures show the painting on the wall at the entrance and the board displaying information about the place.

After going inside, we were able to see various types of turtles and turtle babies. We also had the opportunity to touch the turtles. The inside was very neat and beautiful. Entry is free. Every day, many foreigners come to this place to see the turtles. In addition to foreigners, locals also come here.

There were several large tanks with turtles. The turtles were swimming around in them and they kept coming up to the top always. Our sister and sister-in-law's son was running around trying to touch the turtles in almost every tank. I also got to touch a few turtles, but I couldn't spend much time with them because I was taking pictures.

You can see from these pictures that there were turtles of various species here. And I didn't forget to take pictures of all the turtles that were here. The pictures are a bit dark. Actually, as I mentioned earlier, the reason for this is because it was dark this evening.

This is my sister. You can see her trying to touch the turtles. And in these two pictures, there's a big tank with turtles.

Even though I shared several pictures of the turtles above, you may not know the names of those turtles and other informations about them. But we were able to identify them because there was a board at that place with the names and details of the turtles there. So, a picture of that board is shown above.

There were several employees here to take care of the turtles, and there was a board showing how they take care of the turtles. So I didn't forget to take a picture of that.

As I mentioned above, there are big turtles and baby turtles here. So the baby turtles were in a separate tank. They were swimming back and forth in a herd. I really want to touch them when I see them.

There was also another area to the side that was covered to protect the turtle eggs. There were several small boards at each location that indicated something, but I couldn't read what they said clearly. But I think the boards were the names of the species to which the turtle eggs belonged.

This is the area where the turtles' eggs were safely covered.

After I took all the pictures at the Bluewave Seaturtles Hatchery, I took a picture with my two sisters-in-law. These two pictures were not taken with my cell phone. They were taken with my sister-in-law's cell phone. All the other pictures were taken with my cell phone.
