🌐🐢 The "gooseberry turtle," the giant of the sea.

🌐🐢 "gooseberry turtle," the giant of the sea, who keeps the balance of the ocean.

Did you know that the Leatherback Turtle is the largest sea turtle in the world? Adults are more than two meters long and weigh up to 900 kilograms! Its carapace is not scales like a normal turtle, but thick black parchment with seven convex ridges along its length that look like a gooseberry, which is the origin of the Thai name we are familiar with.

Gooseberry turtles are top-class scuba divers, diving up to 1,280 meters and swimming as fast as 35 km / h, mostly living in the open sea, far from the coast and often in cold water zones.

During the spawning period, the mother turtle comes up to the beach to dig a pit of about 60 to 100 eggs, and it takes about two months to hatch before the baby turtle crawls into the sea and starts life on its own.

🚨 Conservation status

• Global: Vulnerable

• In some areas: Critically Endangered

• 🇹🇭 in Thailand: is classified as a "reserved animal" and is the least common sea turtle.

The more you know... the more you want to help protect

Because every time a gooseberry turtle comes back to spawn on a Thai beach, it's the small hope of the whole sea. 🌊💙

If you love the sea too, share more with your friends. 🐢💙

... Read moreหลายคนอาจเคยได้ยินชื่อ “เต่ามะเฟือง” ผ่านข่าวขึ้นมาวางไข่บนชายหาดไทย แต่พอได้อ่านและดูภาพเต่ามะเฟืองตัวใหญ่บนหาดจริง ๆ (บางภาพเห็นกำลังพักบนทราย และบางภาพกำลังขุดหลุมวางไข่ โดยมีคนเฝ้าดูอยู่ด้านหลัง) ถึงรู้เลยว่านี่คือสัตว์ทะเลที่ “ยิ่งใหญ่และเปราะบาง” พร้อมกันมาก สิ่งที่ทำให้เต่ามะเฟืองต่างจากเต่าทะเลชนิดอื่นคือกระดองไม่ได้เป็นเกล็ดแข็ง ๆ แต่เป็นแผ่นหนังหนา สีเข้ม และมีสันนูนยาว ๆ ทำให้คนไทยเรียกตามผล “มะเฟือง” พอรู้จุดสังเกตนี้ เวลาเห็นภาพหรือเจอข่าวก็แยกออกง่ายขึ้นว่าเป็นเต่ามะเฟืองจริงไหม อีกอย่างที่หลายคนสงสัยคือ “ทำไมเต่ามะเฟืองถึงขึ้นหาดมาใกล้คน?” คำตอบคือช่วงวางไข่ แม่เต่าจำเป็นต้องขึ้นชายหาดเพื่อขุดหลุมวางไข่ แล้วกลบทรายให้เรียบร้อย ซึ่งเป็นช่วงที่เสี่ยงมาก เพราะแสงไฟ เสียงดัง คนเข้าไปยืนล้อม หรือการถ่ายรูปแฟลช อาจทำให้แม่เต่าตกใจและเลิกวางไข่กลางคันได้ ถ้าเราไปเที่ยวทะเลแล้วบังเอิญเจอเหตุการณ์เต่าขึ้นหาด (หรือเจอร่องรอยคล้ายรอยตีน/รอยลากบนทราย) สิ่งที่ช่วยได้แบบง่าย ๆ คือ - อยู่ห่าง ๆ ไม่ล้อม ไม่จับ ไม่ขวางทางลงทะเล - งดใช้แฟลช และลดแสงสว่างรบกวนให้มากที่สุด - เงียบและเดินเบา ๆ เพื่อไม่ให้แม่เต่าตื่น - แจ้งเจ้าหน้าที่/อาสาสมัครในพื้นที่ให้เข้ามาดูแล หลายพื้นที่จะมีคนคอยเฝ้าระวังช่วงเต่ามะเฟืองวางไข่พอดี เหมือนในภาพที่มีคนยืนดูอยู่ด้านหลัง ซึ่งเป็นวิธีที่ดีถ้าทำอย่างถูกต้อง—คือเฝ้าห่าง ๆ เพื่อป้องกันการรบกวนและช่วยดูแลความปลอดภัยของแม่เต่าและหลุมไข่ สุดท้าย ต่อให้เราไม่ได้อยู่ใกล้ชายหาดที่มีการวางไข่ การช่วย “ทางอ้อม” ก็สำคัญมาก เช่น ลดขยะพลาสติกที่หลุดลงทะเล เก็บขยะเวลไปเที่ยวหาด และสนับสนุนการท่องเที่ยวที่เป็นมิตรกับสัตว์ทะเล เพราะเต่ามะเฟืองคือหนึ่งในตัวชี้วัดความสมบูรณ์ของระบบนิเวศทะเล—ทุกครั้งที่มันกลับมาวางไข่ได้สำเร็จ ความหวังของทะเลก็เพิ่มขึ้นจริง ๆ
