@straitstimes: 🐢 One of the first sea turtles of Singapore’s 2026 nesting season was spotted by staff from NParks at East Coast Park today. The critically endangered hawksbill is one of 2 sea turtle species recorded in the Republic. The other - the green turtle - has been spotted in local waters but has never been recorded nesting here. #turtles #hawksbillturtle #wildlife #Singapore

Putting a cloth (often a dark towel or cloth) over a sea turtle's head is primarily done to calm the animal and reduce its stress during rescue and release operations. When a turtle is handled by humans, it can become highly agitated and defensive

What’s wrong with observing from afar? Humans ought to do better by respecting its safe space.

Sea turtles and their eggs are typically transported away from busy areas like East Coast Park in Singapore for two main reasons: safety and conservation. Transporting them—which usually involves carefully moving freshly laid eggs to a protected facility like the Small Sister's Island hatchery operated by NParks—ensures the survival of the critically endangered hawksbill turtle.

Shouldn't disturb them. It will scare them and they will not lay any eggs.

It will be better to leave them alone to nest. The piece of cloth on its head serves no purpose.
