Sea Turtle Conservation Center is the conservation centre of sea turtles, as well as the nursery that educates general public about sea turtles. In the past, the conservation of sea turtles begun in 1950 with a specialisation in sea turtle hatching and nursery for releases to the nature at Kram Island, Sattahip District, Chonburi. Years after, on 17 October 2001, the Royal Thai Navy had abolished the subcommittee of all conservation works. Consequently, the Naval Civil Affairs Department was designated as the administration division, which is responsible for the conservation of sea turtles, whereas the Air and Coastal Defense Command is responsible for the operation and implementation of the plans for the conservation and revival of natural resources and marine environment under the national maritime security policy that designated the Royal Thai Navy to serve as the operation division. The Sea Turtle Conservation was established according to the Royal Initiative of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, which is located within the Air and Coastal Defense Command, Sattahip District, Chonburi.
The centre provides biological knowledge on the life cycle of sea turtles, as well as enhances the understanding and encourages the conservation of sea turtles for which will result in the conservation of relating natural resources that benefit the nature in various aspects. The centre serves as a nursery with correct academic practices and is able to return raised sea turtles back to the sea. As the source of learning and research of sea turtle conservation, the centre welcomes students and general public. Visitors will enjoy viewing and learning the life of sea turtles by which will encourage a sense of belonging with endangered sea turtles. The centre comprises exhibition room within the lecture building (with an in-house guide, video presentation and exhibition), sea turtle house, sea turtle hatchling facility, souvenir shop, coffee shop, recreational area and photo spots.
