Is Con Dao Green Turtle Nesting happening right now?

As of today, peak season now, through ~October 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

Endangered green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) come ashore across the Con Dao archipelago to dig nests and lay clutches of eggs.

The activity is seasonal and concentrated on a handful of protected islets and beach sections where Con Dao National Park runs guided, permit-controlled turtle-watching and hatchling-release programs.
