00:00Conservationists on Taiwan's outlying Penghu Islands have released 13 rehabilitated sea
00:04turtles back into the ocean.
00:11The turtles were rescued from bad weather conditions or because of poor health.
00:14They were released once they were deemed to be in good enough shape.
00:17Conservationists hope that the turtles will return to Penghu to lay eggs.
00:21Twelve were green loggerhead turtles and one was an olive ridley sea turtle, the first
00:25turtle of its kind to be released here in Taiwan.
00:28We hope that the turtles will return to Penghu to lay eggs and produce more next-generation
00:34turtles.
00:35We also hope that we will have more opportunities for children to learn more about the ocean.
