Find the Missing Eggs!
Marine turtles are completely and utterly threatened by:

1) Accidental capture by fishing industries (turtles breathe air. When they are caught or tangled up by shrimp trawlers or in drift nets, they drown)

2) Poaching of their eggs (Despite a blanket ban against the collection of marine turtle eggs, poachers continue to elude the authorities)

3) Coastal development ( Turtles are losing precious nesting grounds to hotels and resorts AND lights on the beach at night confuse and misdirect turtle hatchlings)

Now, 'the Return' is offering you a chance to learn something new about how you may help save marine turtles while having some fun while you're at it.

As you probably know by now (if you don't, catch up why don't you), the Return is organising a treasure hunt of sorts called "Find the Missing Eggs" where you are invited to retrieve as many turtle eggs (ping-pong balls marked with our logo) stashed in and around TCPJ and TCHT campus grounds. Now, to be perfectly fair to everyone who may compete in this competition, we're keeping the rules as simple as possible:

1) The location of the eggs will be restricted to a few areas frequented by EVERY student. This means, exclusive access to certain locations such as the papparazi pod and the programme office are NOT required for you to participate.

2) A map of the 'egg zone' will be posted up shortly before the actual commencement of the competition. The eggs will be stashed only in those zones marked on the map.

3) In the predefined time limit (after we've confirmed your registration of course), locate and retrieve AS MANY TURTLE EGGS AS POSSIBLE. Surrender them to our competition coordinator (we'll tell you who she is later) who'll tally the eggs.

4) The person with the most eggs surrendered at the end of the competition time-frame will win a prize.

5) Try not to cheat will you? The eggs will be specially marked just in case someone attempts to cheat. Cheaters will be disqualified immediately.

6) Participation is opened to students of both TCPJ and TCHT. YOu may register either as an individual (RM2) or a group of three (RM5 max.).
