Turtle is a migrant species, often migrate in the thousands of kilometers between areas where to eat and a place to lay eggs. Sea turtles spend time at sea but the parent will be heading to the mainland when it's time to lay eggs. Parent turtles lay their eggs in cycles of 2-4 years, which will come to the beach 4-7 times to lay hundreds of eggs in the sand grains were excavated.

After 45-60 days of incubation, the hatchlings (call for turtles) emerge from the nest and ran into the ocean to start a new life. Some experts say 1000 there will be only one hatchling hatchlings survive to adulthood. The survival of the turtles until adulthood is very low, experts say that only about 1-2% of the number of eggs produced.
