Talang Satang National Park

The Talang Satang National Park is a national park in Kuching Division, Sarawak, Malaysia. It is Sarawak's first marine protected area, and covers the four islands Pulau Talang-Talang Besar, Pulau Talang-Talang Kecil, Pulau Satang Besar and Pulau Satang Kecil and surrounding coral reefs.

Talang Satang is open to nature tourism although its primary purpose is nature conservation. Activities that visitors can engage in are scubadiving and snorkeling, but only outside the area of protection and conservation.

Geography
Talang Satang National Park is a coastal marine habitat with sandy beaches, mudflats, and rocky shores. Satang Besar and Talang-talang Islands have been identified as breeding grounds for turtles. Coral reefs and seagrass can also be found around these islands.

Turtle conservation
The park was established to protect marine turtles; four species of marine turtles are known to nest in the park, including green turtles and hawksbill turtles.

Although turtles come ashore all year round, the main nesting season is from April to October.
