Turtles in T&T

“This is set to be a record year for nesting leatherback turtles on the coast of northern and eastern Trinidad with as many as 7,000 females expected to come ashore.

On just one beach, Grande Riviere, conservationists counted 388 nesting on one night earlier this month and now expect this to surpass the previously unthinkable total of 500 laying females.

“This is an amazing year. The biggest nesting season on record. The turtles are big and robust and we are thrilled to see so many on the beaches,” said Scott Eckert, a conservation biologist.”
