11 leatherback sea turtles nursed and equipped with trackers were released into the Indian Ocean in Thailand for conservation.

Marine conservationists in Thailand released 11 baby leatherback sea turtles into the Indian Ocean, equipped with trackers to aid conservation efforts. The turtles were nursed after hatching due to their weak condition. The release follows the discovery of leatherback sea turtles returning to lay eggs in southern Thailand in 2018. Thailand is one of five countries that have successfully nursed this species of baby turtle up to their first year.
