Serangan Island

Serangan Island is also known as Turtle Island as for many years it was nesting ground for the Green Sea Turtle. Locals used to catch the live turtles as well as their eggs for consumption and unfortunately this exploitation resulted in the near elimination of all turtles in this area. In 2004 with the aid of international funding a Turtle Conservation and Education Centre was established on the island and the government imposed a strict ban on turtle trading. With local help, the aim of this centre is to nurture the growth of newly hatched turtles and release them at an age where survival rates are quite favourable. The fishermen of Serangan now try to safeguard these ocean creatures to prevent extinction. Surfing The waters surrounding Serangan Island are popular with surfers especially during the wet season when west-south-west winds blow. The waves average 4-6ft and this once secret spot now gets quite crowded. [Serangan Island Baliwww.com Articles]
