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.

We have snow delays at Villa this morning and the kids won't be there for our Skype connection! Can we reschedule for Thursday at 9:!5? Unless I'm stuck in snow, I'll try to be on Skype at 9:15 in case you don't see this. Sorry!

I think it means not to use bright lights on passing cars because then the turtles will be drawn to the light and walk on to the street.
