Photos taken by Haitham AI Farsi in an Oman's turtle reserve show tracks made by turtles on a beach after stashing their eggs in the sand for hatching and returning to the sea. /CFP

With a 45-kilometer stretch of coastline, Ras al Had Turtle Reserve is a protective habitat for turtles, especially the green ones. /CFP

The green turtle is a herbivore, and is one of the largest sea turtles. As its name implies, their fat and cartilage appears green in color, not its shell. /CFP

Each year, around 10,000 green turtles make their journey on the beach to lay eggs. /CFP

The reserve also provides a fertile productive environment for the 130 species recorded. /CFP
