Today we got to work on 4 more turtles! \"costa<\/a>As soon as we dropped the net we caught a beautiful female Green sea turtle! A little while later we caught giant female Green – she was 100+ cm and weighed at least 350lbs – that was a challenge for us to carry and get to shore…but we did it! It took 8 of us just to get her from the boat to shore and she was very strong…it was a great learning experience because it showed us that while they are docile creatures their strength can make things more difficult for us, making it even more important that we keep our “calm hats” on so not to raise their stress level.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day while we were pulling in the net, there was \u00a0a smaller turtle in the net and lucky us it was an adult female Hawksbill. We brought her back to the center with us in the boat for a 24 hour fresh water treatment to kill a common parasite found in Hawksbill.
