Pro-Turtle is a decomposable protective cover which provides suitable incubation temperature for turtle eggs, alleviating the problem of large number of turtle hatching failures and gender imbalance caused by climate change. Pro-Turtle is made of local bagasse and red algae, which has the features of anti-noise, heat insulation, and the reduction of direct sunlight. It lets the eggs hatch at the pivotal temperature, thus avoiding extinction caused by single sex. Pro-Turtle reduces marine pollution and prevents tourists from encroaching on turtle spawning sites by means of warning signs.
