Release

Posted by Elspeth (St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago) on 25 August 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

On the beach at Grand Riviere (Trinidad) men patrol the beach, protecting the baby leatherback turtle hatchlings from predators (mainly dogs, vultures) as they emerge from their eggs. They are gathered in buckets and released to the ocean at certain points later in the evening.

Thanks for visiting.
