Thai navy sailor holds an albino green turtle baby at a turtle nursery in Khram island, 30 km (18 miles) from the busy tourist beach town of Pattaya, east of Bangkok June 17, 2009. Special care is given to around 15,000 green and hawksbill baby turtles hatched and housed at the navy's conservation center each year. Once the baby turtles' shells are big and strong enough to protect them from various predators at about six-months-old the young turtles are released to the sea. Picture taken June 17, 2009.
