This is the management and monitoring symbol for sea turtles in the Philippines. The Philippine mother turtle is a green turtle (also known as a green turtle) measuring 93cm x 84cm, and laid 84 eggs. After successfully giving birth to the turtle, the Con Dao National Park Management Board added a Vietnamese tag with the code CD 4699 to continue monitoring the turtle's movements.
