The turtles have been preserved, so where will the Con Dao turtles go? That question lingers in the thoughts of leaders of Con Dao National Park. And they built a project to track the migration path of Con Dao turtles and received help from international organizations and experts in satellite tracking in 2006. In this year, there were 4 times of wearing 4 machines. turtle form. Mr. Ai said: “They rely on the characteristics of turtles that a few hours will float to the surface to breathe air, so they attach a monitor to the turtle’s shell with a special glue. Each time the tortoise emerged to breathe, the signal was sent back to their data recording center, which they then sent to themselves. Thanks to that, we know the very distant migration of sea turtles in Con Dao, sometimes as far as Palawan Island of the Philippines with a length of up to 1,449 km. Moreover, the turtle’s path is almost just a straight line thanks to its special magnetic sense to steer it very well.
After obtaining data from experts, the sea turtle organization provided support. A few years later, Mr. Ai went to Hanoi to report and humorously said: “In Con Dao, there is a type of resident who can freely travel abroad without needing a passport or visa”. Pausing for a moment in everyone’s curiosity, Mr. Ai continued: “That is the sea turtle”. The whole meeting room broke out. Along with the track machine, is the tagging of the turtle’s front two fins. This is simply to easily track, study the biological characteristics of sea turtles to share experiences, call for research funding, but do not expect that the collected data shows the range of activities. of sea turtles are very wide, exceeding the national scale. This means that countries in the region must join hands to protect sea turtles, but not everyone can do it. And in fact, Vietnam and other countries in the region have many signatures, minutes, and memorandums of understanding on joining hands to protect sea turtles.
