Turtle hatcheries!

Good morning all! I'll be going traveling down to Galle, Unawatuna, Weligama and then onwards to Yala National Park. I would really love to visit the turtle hatcheries and release the turtles into the sea. Any idea where I can find one along the way? :)

Hi all! So it means all the turtle hatcheries are only concentrated between Bentota and Kosgoda?

I saw a couple near Unawatuna and one just outside Hikkaduwa last September.

If you stay in Unawatuna, you can visit the Hatchery in Koggala/Habaraduwa few kms east and release some hatchlings there, you may have to make a donation for the upkeep.
thanks for sticking your neck out for turtles!
