There is sea turtle conservation with its turtle hatchery near the beach (look for the giant turtle statue). This conservation program was started in 2001 by Mr. Agung (Mr. Turtle) and Wayan.
Segara Beach, Kuta and its surroundings are the spot where sea turtles lay their eggs. After laying their eggs, the conservation will relocate it to the turtle hatchery. This is done due to some reasons such as erosion, tide, tourist activity, wild dogs, rubbish and more.
The sea turtle nesting season in this area start from March to September each year, while the hatching season starts from April to October. During the peak of turtle hatching season (June, July, August) the conservation will released baby sea turtles almost everyday.
Many comments related to the issue of rubbish on the beach. This problem is actually not only happening here but almost on every beach in Bali. Sources mentioned that Kuta Beach and surrounding beach usually experienced an annual waste season from November to January. This garbage consists of logs, twigs, coconut, plastic and more.
This requires deep research on a broader scale, especially in determining the source of trash and its solution. But apart from that, Kuta Beach and its surroundings have become an icon that visited by a lot of tourists (domestic and international), so that overcome this issue (rubbish on the beach) should be prioritized.
The Local Government of Badung Regency (Dinas Lingkungan Hidup dan Kebersihan / DLHK), local residents, and other stakeholders are always striving to maintain cleanliness at Kuta Beach and surrounding areas. This effort is worth appreciating. But this will never be enough without the awareness and participation of every tourist who visits this place. Therefore, let’s keep this beloved beach clean!
