Sea Turtles
September 10, 2008 Filed in: Photographs
Coastal Conservation Corporation is responsible for
protecting the turtles on several of the beaches here
in Bocas del Toro. Our friends Ramon and Natalia have
been caring for the turtles on these beaches for the
last five years. We see them whenever we go out to the
Zapatilla Cayes. They also come over to use our
communications on occassion. They graciously provided
us with a few of the photos they have taken over the
term of their tenure here in Bocas. They have been
blessed with some beautiful encounters over the years
as you can see in these photos.
Two of our guests were at the Zapatillas with Jay on Tuesday. Natalia took them along with her as she did her final check on a turtle nest. There was one baby turtle who hadn’t dug himself out. They helped him out of the nest and watched as he made his way to the sea. Over 100 turtles hatched and made it to sea as Natalia and Ramon kept watch. Thank you!
I am going to update the Zapatilla Cay website and put all of their photos on the site. I will post on here when I have it completed.
