Several decades ago, Green Turtles came ashore on a number of beaches in Hong Kong, including Tung O and Ha Mei Wan on Lamma Island, as well as Tong Fuk Miu Wan and Tai Long Wan on Lantau Island. Nowadays, as a result of rapid urbanization, Green Turtles only lay eggs on Sham Wan, Lamma Island.
In the summer of 2008, "Hong Kong 2", the Green Turtle that had left Hong Kong for five years, returned to Sham Wan to lay eggs. Even slight disturbances would scare a nesting turtle away. The crew of Sea World had to shoot the scene carefully. In this episode, we will witness the precious moments when a Green Turtle lay eggs in Hong Kong, and the return of hatchlings to the ocean.
