Our team will conduct studies on the behavior, physiology and migration patterns of the leatherback turtles on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. We will help tag and identify turtles, record nest locations and help determine hatchling success. Researchers and scientists have been working with these turtles in for the past 17 years in attempt to understand the impact of human activities and pollution. This work has led to the establishment of a National Park and a Marine Biology field station.

Internet Trouble:(

Hello fellow bloggers- we are here and Playa Grande is great.
We are all napping to rest up for our 6 hour beach walk tonight- 11pm to 5am.
I have some great pictures but we are having some computer difficulties- hope to post them tomorrow.
Today I was able to see a baby leatherback-- it was a hatchling being excavated by a researcher. They released it tonight into the ocean--cross your fingers he/she makes it!
Promise to post picture soon.
Have a great night!

Hello Mrs. Seshadri!!
