Turtle Islands Park

Turtle Islands Park is a marine national park in the Sulu Sea, about 40 kilometres north of Sandakan, Sabah. Established in 1977, it comprises three islands — Selingan, Bakungan Kecil and Gulisan — and is Malaysia's first turtle hatchery. It is a major nesting site for endangered Green and Hawksbill turtles. Managed by Sabah Parks, the park is dedicated to conservation, research and controlled eco-tourism centred on turtle nesting and hatchling releases.
