In the summer of 2012, the AFCD recorded that a green turtle laid five clutches of eggs at Sham Wan, Lamma Island, numbering over 550 eggs in total. Unfortunately, no sign of hatchlings was observed during the incubation period at Sham Wan. One of the possible reasons for the unsuccessful hatching is that the eggs were unfertilised. The same turtle also nested in Hong Kong in 2003 and 2008.
