Hong Kong - Hong Kong is playing an important role in the survival of the endangered green turtle by acting as a key breeding ground and transit route, a media report said Thursday.
Biologists using satellite tracking tags fixed to four female green turtles showed Hong Kong was a vital marine passage, the Standard newspaper said.
"Our data showed they do migrate among feeding grounds in waters near Hong Kong, migrating from the Philippines to China to lay eggs," said Cheung Ka-shing, an officer with the Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department.
