Our first activity of the day was our orientation with Alice the biologist working on the project. We learned what was expected of us as assistants and what LAST purpose and goals were. After our orientation we gathered our supplies/lunch and headed out to the boats.

The plan was to drop our nets, remove the tangles and then head to the beach and wait until we caught a turtle. We caught 4 green turtles and was able to take biometrics and tissue samples.

All in all it was a back breaking but rewarding day of work! Costa Rica is muy bonita!
