Yeah‼️ When SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 was travelled to Terengganu, Malaysia 🇲🇾 for the squid 🦑 jigging festival early this year, she was wishing & hoping for the famous turtles 🐢🐢 watching 👀 at night 🌃🌌 in the same state too
Guess what ❓⁉️
Her dream came true with the exclusive media invitation 📩📧💌 by Resorts World Genting (RWG) 🏢🏞🚠 to witness the circle of life as turtles 🐢🐢 return to the beach at its Resorts World Kijal (RWK)🏢🏝🏖, Terengganu, Malaysia 🇲🇾
Yes ✅, she 👩🏻 is blessed 😇 Of course she will continue to deliver her best in her blogging 👩🏻💻📝 passion ya 😃✌🏻
Yeah‼️ Turtles 🐢🐢 watching 👀‼️
The amazing 🤩 sight of a mum turtle 🐢 that ambled up to the beach 🏝🏖 to ensure that her next generation ~ baby turtles 🐢 🐢 are safely deposited in sand always 1️⃣ to cherish. As the turtle 🐢 watching 👀 season on Peninsular Malaysia 🇲🇾’s East Coast reaches its peak from May to Sept annually, RWK 🏢🏝🏖in Terengganu remains as 1️⃣ of the best 👍🏻 places in Malaysia 🇲🇾 to spot & appreciate these majestic creatures on their annual return to the shore 🐢🏝🌊 Yeah‼️
Obviously straight away she said “Yes ✅” & RSVPed her participation ✌🏻😃😁 Hurray‼️
Upon arrival & checked in, she 👩🏻 was 1️⃣st impressed with its window view ~ The breathtaking sea 🌊 & the biggest swimming pool 🏊♂️🏊♀️ in Terengganu 😍🤩 Ohh wow‼️
Of course she had enjoyed her comfy stay 😴 in the premier room with sea view of RWK🏢🏝🏖
A fully furnished & spacious room space 👍👍
A great 👍 satisfaction from her stay vacation 🛀🛋️🚿🚽
She was wake up by the beautiful sunrise 🌄🌅 view from her room 😍 😍
SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 highly recommended 👆 this resort 🏢🏝🏖 especially for a family weekend getaway with the kids🧒👦👧🧑 or even a school trip
Why❓⁉️
Definitely an educational stay for the kids🧒👦👧🧑to learn about the turtle 🐢conservation 💚 in Terengganu, Malaysia 🇲🇾 Refer below captures from SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 friends👭’ kids 👦🧑 participation
Being a high⬆️-trafficked area, RWK 🏢🏝🏖 has its own turtle 🐢 conservation programme in place to ensure the safety of both the turtles 🐢🐢 & their eggs🥚🥚
Yes✅ , RWK 🏢🏝🏖 ‘s own turtles 🐢🐢 hatchery 🥚🥚
Regular cleanings (Including annual beach 🏝🏖 cleanupsss 😀) are done to ensure the beach 🏝🏖 is safe for both turtle landings 🐢🐢 & its guests’ 👭👬👫 activities 👍🏻💪🏻
Bravo‼️ 👏🙌 RWK 🏢🏝🏖 always continue working with the Terengganu Department of Fisheries 🐟🐟 to seek official protection for its beach 🏖🏝 & to certify ✍🏻📜 its guests’ 👭👬👫 turtle 🐢 conservation 💚 programme
She 👩🏻 was informed by the RWK’s turtle conservation officer named Mr Ragu 👨🏽 that turtles 🐢🐢 usually arrive on Terengganu beaches 🏝🏖 from May to Sept, mainly consisting of the common Green Turtle 🐢 aka Chelonia Mydas & the occasionally rare Hawksbill Turtle 🐢 aka Eretmochelys Imbricate. Returning by instinct to the very area that they were hatched🥚🥚🐢🐢, the 7.6km beach 🏝🏖 at RWK 🏢🏝🏖 is 1️⃣ of these hallowed places
Despite turtles 🐢🐢 watching 👀, this RWG🏢🏞🚠’s turtles 🐢🐢 conservation 💚 efforts @ RWK 🏢🏝🏖 also supported by various of its guests’ 👭👬👫 activities,
i. Turtle 🐢 Eggs 🥚🥚 Planting
A proper briefing 🗣️👥👥👥 will be provided with the Dos ✅ & Don’ts ❌, including a demostration by the resort’s turtles 🐢🐢 rangers
Bravo‼️ This is important to ensure all the precious turtle 🐢 eggs 🥚🥚are all appropriately planted by RWK 🏢🏝🏖 ‘s guests 👭👬👫 accordingly
Some of the guidance are,
- Must wear gloves before holding the eggs 🥚🥚
- Dig the hole with enough depth for eggs 🥚🥚 planting (It’s advisable to have between 6️⃣️ to 🔟 eggs🥚🥚in each planting nest)
- Once hold the egg🥚, not to turn the egg 🥚in any directions
- Put the egg 🥚slowly on the ground of the hole prepared for turtle 🐢 eggs 🥚🥚planting
- Then, covered the sand, fence up & labelled with date of egg🥚planting
For about 3️⃣ months, the eggs🥚🥚will lay incubating in the sand, only for the hatchlings 🐢🐢 to emerge during a full moon 🌕 & speed their way to the ocean 🌊
In the years to come, many will return 🐢🐢 to the very same beach 🏖🏝, completing the cycle of life. Of course RWK 🏢🏝🏖 always will be there waiting to welcome them back 🐢🐢🏝🏖🥚🥚
ii. Turtles hatchling releasing🥚🥚🐢🐢 to the ocean 🌊
When SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 has holded up a baby turtle 🐢 , she felt touched in her heart ❤️ as only 1️⃣ to ️3️⃣️ in 1️⃣️k baby turtles 🐢🐢 will live long enough after releasing to ocean 🌊
Ohh….What❓⁉️
She has blessed kiss 😘 the baby turtle ~ Little Sienny 🐢 ~ to have a safe growing up journey to the sea 🌊
It’s advised to let the baby turtles 🐢🐢 to crawling on their own at least short distance from the beach 🏝🏖 to the sea 🌊 , it forms part of their growing journey
iii. Coconut tree planting 🌴🥥
Hmm…Why❓⁉️
Coconut trees 🌴🌴🥥🥥 can live 💯+ years, producing over thousands of coconuts 🥥🥥 in it’s lifetimeo‼️ Wow‼️ 😲🤪
Moreover, coconut trees 🌴🌴🥥🥥 help to protect beach from coastal 🌊 erosion
