Saving the endangered sea turtle from extinction

One of the young turtles floats in the ocean after being released from a manmade nest at the Serena Beach Hotel's seafront Sunday September 28, 2014. At least seventy young turtles which are endangered spicies, were hatched on Saturday and released safely into the Indian Ocean. (PHOTO: GIDEON MAUNDU/ STANDARD)

Why, you may ask, would one want to harm a sea turtle? Very few swimmers in the Indian Ocean have ever come across a sea turtle.
