The competition received 30 entries across three categories from individuals, families, groups and six schools, with some travelling from as far as Singapore to show their support. “We are truly blown away by the sheer number of turtle lovers who travelled here and expressed their desire to preserve these beautiful sea creatures. To me, all the sand sculptures were captivating as they each reflected the teams’ unique stories and imagination. I am especially grateful to our corporate and personal sponsors, without whom this campaign could not have taken place,” said Gail Tay, director of operations & programmes for The International SeaKeepers Society Asia.
“The turtle has long been an icon for Malaysia and its tourism industry. To see the number of sea turtles drop every year is heartbreaking, which is why we need to act now before they are beyond saving. We dream to return to the glory days when turtles would nest on Malaysian shores every other day. I implore all Malaysians to chip in towards this dream – let’s bring our turtles back,” urged Tay.
