From audio:
• Pirate attacked the island - semah, one from the island one from the sea
• Make the eggs rotten before the ceremony - smelly
• Every year, everyone takes a boat, near august
• One day one night
• Festival is Nyemah Pulau
• Nyemah is only for this island, the spirit for this island. Sea spirit
• Nyemah for the dayak, and muslims pray on behalf of our religion, dayaks do their own
• Night - pray, next day rotten turtle eggs
• Semah day always windy, sometimes a storm - day before calm, next day storm
• Sometimes boat sinking
• This is Nyemah yeah? Laughing
• Now is conservation - stopped nearly 10 years
• Did everyone agree? Government had meeting with chief of village
• Permanent, the island is for the turtle
• Working for forestry - first conservation project, 2012
• Helping marine biologists from Australia collect data every night - mother eggs
• Measure the eggs, write it in a book
• 19:42
• Mother arrives, lays eggs, covers eggs, moves forward - then measure mother, tag flipper
• He draws it
• Tries to tag not to hurt it, turtle is scared of the tag, needs special fast technique
• Worried that if turtle is hurt it won’t return - “maybe, just maybe”
• Not following turtle record landing data now
• April - Oct
