Is Daymaniyat Islands Hawksbill Turtle Nesting happening right now?

As of today, in season, building toward peak (~July 1). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

The Daymaniyat Islands (Ad Dimaniyat) off Muscat, Oman, are one of the Arabian region's most important hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting areas.

Females visit the islands to lay multiple clutches each season.

The reserve closes or restricts landings during the nesting/hatching months to protect nests and hatchlings.
