The Turtle Conservation and Education Centre (TCEC) at Serangan Island south of Sanur is doing a very commendable job of educating both the local community and school children to help end the turtle trade and support conservation. Turtle meat and eggs have long been consumed in Bali and are still used in certain religious rituals. However, enlightened and educating locals are planning to turn this into a thing of the past. Since its inception in 2006, TCEC has been helpful in eradicating the selling and trading of turtles and turtle eggs in Indonesia. Simultaneously, it has attracted many visitors, activists, and volunteers who come to see, help and play with the turtles. Visitors can get a guided tour of how the turtles are fed and taken care of. And they may even choose to help the conservation center to free the turtles back into the ocean once the latter are mature and ready.
There is no entrance fee charged to visit this unique rescue center for turtles. There are several tanks at this center for rehabilitated turtles as well as a home to turtles at various stages of growth. It is a perfect place to understand the lifecycle and habitats of various turtles. The Hatchery point is another must-see in this location. More so, tourists can volunteer to assist and receive hands-on experience in this conservation center for turtles.
