Sea Turtle nest attacked
I hope they find the people responsible for wantonly destroying sea turtle nests and killing sea birds on Anna Maria Island, see the Crime & Punishment section. Ecuador has released 201 tortoises from the Chelonoidis nigra hoodensis subspecies on Santa Fe Island and in Rhode Island, residents are creating their own turtle-x signs to help turtles and warn drivers, see the Conservation section.
