Thanks for the link to the book, which I have just now purchased on my Kindle for instant gratification Plus, books tend to mildew down here, so I keep hardcopies to a minimum. I look forward to reading it.

I hope the 2019 season is kinder to them, weather-wise, but I think we can learn a little more to be able to improve the survival rate. I have been in contact with the department that monitors turtle activity and they have promised to send some protocols on nest monitoring and protection.Wilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-71874944643992810132019-01-04T14:12:19.204-06:002019-01-04T14:12:19.204-06:00Oh, Wilma!

And I have seen little ones crawling to the sea. Such hope in their struggles! This was in Florida. <br />They have a huge sea turtle conservation program in Cozumel. The side of the island they lay on is almost completely unoccupied by humans so they get a lot of activity and it's gone up a lot in the last few years. Many people volunteer to help with the marking of nests and with the hatchings. It's such a beautiful thing. I believe the turtles are sacred. To me, at least. If you feel so inclined and can order from Amazon in your paradise there in Belize, you might want to get a copy of Search For The Great Turtle Mother by Jack Rudloe. He lives near here and I think that book is amazing. https://www.amazon.com/Search-Great-Turtle-Mother-Rudloe/dp/1561640727<br />Happy New Year, friend!Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-82260207342742826632019-01-04T00:13:14.807-06:002019-01-04T00:13:14.807-06:00What a brilliant blog and what an experience to ha...What a brilliant blog and what an experience to have them on your property so that you can protect and help them.

We could tell when the turtles were coming onto the beach because the dogs would start barking like mad. For all of the egg laying season we had to keep the dogs up on the back veranda so they couldn't smell the turtles and keep us awake all night. But even if the dogs had barked all night, it would have been worth it as long they didn't scare the turtles off.Wilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-3353708933589885502019-01-03T16:18:47.085-06:002019-01-03T16:18:47.085-06:00Oh Wilma, what a wonderful post!

When I was in my teens, my family was staying in a place on the beach in Florida and my sister and I watched a turtle laying her eggs late one night. What an incredible experience. Of course we didn't last the entire time and I always wanted to see the hatchlings make their way into the water. Thank you for this. How exciting to live there!Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-14337916302982334292019-01-01T13:42:40.400-06:002019-01-01T13:42:40.400-06:00Definitely a high point of the year, Roy.
