We were given a lecture today by Claudio Quesada Rodrigues from the WIDECAST turtle conservation project. We learned about all of the different kinds of sea turtles, current research and conservation. I would highly recommend volunteering for this program if you are interested and have the time/money to do so.
Later that night we got to see a leather back turtle laying eggs on the beach. This female was 1.5 m long and laid 80 fertilized and 30 unfertilized eggs.
No cameras or flashlights were allowed around her so I didn't get any pictures.
