"That's the first time that we have had so many nests. As you can see right now, there are at least triple the amount of nests from previous experiences," explains Manuel Lang, the manager of Silavadee Resort on the island.
Pollution, poaching, coastal development, fishing, loss of feeding and nesting grounds, and the consumption of eggs are some of the reasons the species is now under threat. Pratuan Panchaweng, who ferries visitors around the area on his longtail boat, says not only is it the first year he's witnessed turtles laying eggs on the island but that the sea is teeming with fish.Mr Lang adds:"I think it's a good sign that nature has had some time to recover in these special circumstances. It's wonderful to see that nature is back a little bit."
And the changes aren't confined to the island. Thai media has reported an abundance of wildlife sightings including large herds of rare dugongs swimming off the coast of Trang, sea otters playing on the tourist beaches of Ranong, and black tip sharks gathering in the shallows.
