Sea Sense, a conservation group, visited Fanjove Island in Kilwa District after learning that multiple green turtle nests had been established there in 2010. There were numerous security guards on the island who had reported the nests; the island is currently being developed by a tour operator. However, a number of the nests they documented in 2010 had failed as a result of tide flooding. Sea Sense offered hands-on training courses to improve knowledge of nest identification, translocation procedures, post-hatching excavations, and hatching Codes of Conduct in order to increase the survival rates of future nests. Theoretical instruction in the biology and life history of sea turtles served as a support for this training. [4]
