Jokowi said the turtle population was declining. The massive hatchling release program in various parts of the country is expected to be able to restore the turtle population.

"The turtle hatchling release program will not only be carried out in Cilacap, but we will do it massively on all beaches throughout the country," said the President.

After releasing the hatchlings, Jokowi uploaded a moment of himself wearing socks with sandy soles. Jokowi sat on an old wooden chair on the beach.

“After releasing the hatchlings at Kemiren Beach, South Cilacap, this afternoon, I went to an old wooden bench not far from the fishing boats. I was about to put on socks, apparently the soles of my feet are still covered in sand ," said Jokowi.
