The staff carefully gathered the eggs and took them to an egg incubation area on Hon Cau.

Luu Yen Phi, a staff member, said they did not see the mother turtle, so they could not know the species to which the turtle eggs belong. However, the egg nests detected on the island are often identified as the rare green turtle species.

According to Phi, this is the first turtle egg nest discovered on Hon Cau Island this year.

The sea turtle nesting season usually lasts from May to October on the island.
