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.

The answer is false. I just read the Earthwatch Case Studies Series about Costa Rican Sea Turtles. Also, I'm a colleague of Barbara Purn whose classroom is particiapting with your blog entries. We teach together. I will be sharing the information from your blog with my students too. Good luck with your work. Robert
