Fernando and tortuga

Final nest and hatchling numbers are tabulated! Nesting for kemp's ridley turtles begin at the end of March with typically the last green turtle nests and hatchlings arriving in the October / November time frame. These are all very encouraging numbers. Thanks to all at Vida Milenaria for their efforts!
