The annual nesting period for green sea turtles usually falls around March to October, with a peak in May to July. In 2005, the Terengganu State government declared Chagar Hutang beach as a sea turtle sanctuary. Since then, Chagar Hutang has been restricted to the public, allowing only researchers, volunteers and eligible visitors to enter the beach. (Xinhua/Zhu Wei)
