What backs it

Sea Life Park's green sea turtle breeding program has released over 16,000 hatchlings over 40+ years and is in its 37th year of the Turtle Independence Day celebration, with each released turtle microchipped for population tracking and research.

Worth noting

No turtles were released this year as none were ready; the celebration continued with educational activities rather than actual releases.
