KUCHING: It was a sad day, but tinged with relief as aquatic science PhD student Nurhartini Kamalia Yahya released around 39 young green sea turtles that she had been rearing, back into the sea near here.

“I think I am sad. But it’s for the best. Honestly, I did not like to see them confined to a small space. It hurts me,” said Kamalia after releasing the turtles recently.
