Beaches in Kenya are a global hotspot for sea turtles, and Msambweni is no exception. To survive the turtles have to survive threats such as fishing, attack and hunting from other animals, poaching from humans and other dangers.

In July, no new nest recorded but five (5) nests successfully hatched recording a total of 642 live hatchlings, 19 dead hatchlings from a total of 661 eggs. The team in Msambweni conducts daily patrols along the Msambweni coastline every month. On the patrols, the team inspected and excavated nests that hatched and they compiled information on the mortality cases observed. They recorded one mortality case where a green turtle of 115 cm length by 109 cm width was found dead as a result of strangulation from ghost nests.
