We took the turn off the Sanur bypass road just to see what was there. We found Serangan Island, now accessed over reclaimed land. Visited the Turtle conservation site where they aim to teach more Balinese the importance of conserving the endangered salt water turtles. At the site they have a hatchery where they bury collected eggs then release the babies back into the seas. You can handle the turtles which are in tanks, either recouperating or living there days permanently as not able to be released due to injury.
School children are taught to appreciate the species and help prolong its existance.
They request a donation for entry.
Well worth a visit even if just helping to support their efforts.
