One day we were walking along the beach and noticed a crowd of people and lots of activity. We wandered over and saw that baby sea turtles were making their way out of a hole in the sand and heading for the waves. A flock of birds were swarming overhead and we realized that they were looking for their lunch! We tried to shoo the birds away and finally a rep from the resort came with a big bucket and scooped the little guys up, there were about 100 of them!
That night at 6pm we met at the sanctuary for a little talk about the turtles and to release them safely. Apparently the most treacherous part of their journey is actually from their hole where they hatch to the water line. I could see why!
We spent a few minutes with our little friends.
Then we let them go!
Good luck little guys and girls!
