Padang Kemunting's Turtle Conservation & Information Centre (TCIC) was established in 1990 and is managed by the Department of Fisheries Melaka. This was set up as an effort towards turtle conservation and to monitor the landing of turtles in the Melaka Beach. The establishment conducts activities regarding protection, conservation and management of hawksbill turtle in Melaka.





There are 2 sections of this center. The main building consists of an Information Center where one can get much information about the efforts of the center in keeping the turtles specifically Hawksbill species from extinction. There is a pool at the back of the building where one can see hawksbill turtles.





The other section of this center is on the beach across the main building. Guests can find fenced up areas where turtle eggs are buried.
