Cause for shell-ebration: An endangered species of aquatic turtles hatched over 200 eggs near the shorelines of Emirates Global Aluminium’s (EGA) Al Taweelah site in Abu Dhabi, WAM said in a statement. Hawksbill tortoises are seafaring critters that migrate to the UAE once a year to lay their eggs on Emirati coastlines. EGA’s sustainability team closely monitors the turtles to minimize their risk of being devoured by predators during their nesting season. They also conduct daily inspections to make sure that environmental waste washed up on their shores doesn’t disturb hawksbills. Hawksbills turtles live an average of 30 to 50 years, and females typically lay 100-150 eggs per year.
