The Preservation of Sea Turtles on Kifuma/Soyo Beach

Abstract

Throughout the article titled “The Preservation of Sea Turtles on Kifuma/Soyo Beach,” the authors present a thorough analysis of the environmental conditions and the challenges associated with conserving sea turtles in an area of great ecological significance. The study adopts a variety of methodologies by combining on-site monitoring, data collection on nesting rates, and a detailed examination of the impacts resulting from human activities-such as overfishing, uncontrolled tourism, and the degradation of natural habitats. Data gathered during different periods reveal a progressive decline in the hatchlings' survival rate, underscoring the urgent need for preventive measures and sustainable management practices.  The research further emphasizes the relevance of cooperation among local communities, government agencies, and scientific institutions, stressing that the implementation of environmental protection areas and the raising of resident awareness can promote the recovery of coastal ecosystems. The results obtained indicate that, in the presence of effective preservation strategies, there is a significant increase in the success rate of sea turtles during the nesting period, demonstrating the natural resilience of the species when adequately protected. The article also discusses the influence of climate change, which imposes additional challenges to the maintenance of reproductive cycles, and suggests the need to invest in continued research to adapt conservation policies to new environmental realities.  In conclusion, the integration of efforts between society and environmental managers is truly fundamental to promoting ecological balance and ensuring the survival of sea turtles in the region.
