Some say that the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation is more than just a sanctuary. It’s a beacon of hope for these ancient mariners. Right here, on the grounds of the JW Marriott Phuket Resort, nestled on beautiful Mai Khao Beach, a dedicated team works tirelessly to protect turtles. You see, Mai Khao Beach is special. It’s one of the few places in Phuket where turtles still come ashore to lay their eggs. Sadly, not all beaches are as safe or as welcoming. That’s why the foundation rescues eggs from other beaches and brings them here. The foundation partners with the Phuket Marine Biological Centre and even the Royal Thai Navy to give these eggs the best chance. Imagine, tiny hatchlings getting a head start in life thanks to this incredible collaboration! But the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation’s mission goes beyond just protecting nests. They understand that education is key to conservation. They hold daily information sessions where you can learn everything about these fascinating creatures and the challenges they face. And if you’re lucky, you might even witness the heartwarming spectacle of a turtle feeding session. It’s a sight that reminds us of the beauty we’re striving to protect.
