Nesting activity among sea turtles in Amami Oshima has continued to decline, according to researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The island in Kagoshima Prefecture is known as one of the best spots in Japan to see sea turtles in their natural habitat. However, last year\u2019s nesting figures were the second lowest since 2012, when data were first collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Amami Marine Life Research Association, sea turtles landed 521 times between February and September last year. There were 289 recorded nesting attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data are from the Environment Ministry and five municipalities on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2012, there were a record-high 1,081 nesting attempts. Last year, the figure hit a low of 260.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scientists say a key factor may be declining populations. A long-term analysis is needed to assess the situation, they say.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
