Updates

There are updates available at the The Turtle Hospital Blog, Marathon, Florida, about several of the turtles I've mentioned here earlier.

You can also get news of the hundreds of cold stunned turtles being treated at The Sea Turtle Hospital, at Topsail, NC.

TORTUGUERO

Tortuguero, means "place of the turtles". This Costa Rican seaside is the largest green sea turtle nesting area in the Western Hemisphere.

It is hoped that the numbers grow to make a reality of a legend, that there were so many turtles, you could walk to shore on their shells.
