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 found that there are 7 kinds. We looked it up on Wikopedia! Some of the students have seen sea turtles while visiting Hawaii, but not leatherbacks. Also, we find that leatherbacks like to visit around the southern border of our state Washington, near the Columbia River. They like the fishing there!
