Six of the world’s seven turtle species are found in Indonesia: leatherbacks, greens, hawksbills, olive ridleys, loggerheads and flatbacks. With its numerous islands, extensive coastline, vast areas of sea grass beds and coral reefs, Indonesia provides important nesting and foraging grounds to sea turtles. Indonesia hosts the largest rookery for green turtles recorded in Southeast Asia, in the Berau Islands, East Kalimantan, and the largest nesting rookery for leatherback turtles located along the northern coast of Papua. Each season between 1,865-3,601 nests are recorded at Jamursba-Medi and 2,881 nests at Wermon (Hitipeuw et al, 2007). Satellite tracking data and tracing records of flipper tags indicate that these greens and leatherbacks migrate very large distances over open waters from their nesting grounds to get to their feeding grounds.
