If one would capture a baby turtle on beach A and let it go into the water on beach B, when it matured and returned to lay

it's eggs, would it go to beach A or beach B??????? If it was

shown that it would go to beach B then it would be a good way

to help increase the population of sea turtles.

Volunteering - Sea Turtle Monitoring

Writer/Producer: Lynne Howard Frazer

Although they have survived for millions of years, sea turtle populations are plummeting -- and volunteers are working to help protect the precious eggs laid on southwest Florida's beaches -- and ensure the survival of these ancient mariners. Both the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation and Turtle Time, Inc. rely on volunteers to serve as "sea turtle sentinels" during the summer nesting season. Volunteers help locate and protect sea turtle nests, and serve as roving ambassadors for the mammoth mothers and their beguiling babies.
