Good luck helping these awesome sea turtles. they;re soooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
turtes are fasinating creater and there is a way to keep
them with us a due to further learning!I think everyone
should try to volunteer!(there soo cute too!)
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.

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.
