Talang Satang National Park

Sarawak's first marine protected area, Talang-Satang National Park covers an area of 19,414 hectares and was gazetted in 1999 to enhance marine turtle conservation in Sarawak. The park encompasses the coastline and waters surrounding four islands; Pulau Talang-Talang Besar and Pulau Talang-Talang Kecil (located off Sematan), and Pulau Satang Besar and Pulau Satang Kecil (located off Santubong). Known as Sarawak’s Turtle Islands, the trio of islands comprising of Talang Talang Besar, Talang Talang Kecil and Satang Besar, are surrounded by shallow coral reef which provide shelter and resting grounds for sea turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs.
