As usual, the Turtle monitoring team gives Mother Nature a
helping hand with the nesting turtles being the main beneficiaries.

This year we got the special help of a group of tough guys from
the Special Forces Unit, though not present on site today, all of this was
possible through the great organisation and corporation of Major Archil Mondon
who put the team together.
As most of the nesting beaches are usually cleaned often by some
cleaning agencies, though some r rubbish was still collected, the main focus
was on the removal of natural debris like dried up vegetation to allow easy
access through the vegetation especially for the nesting Hawksbill turtles.

Usually the Hawksbill turtles start making an appearance during
September but so far it is still very quiet and only one set of tracks was seen
along with a nest on one of the nesting beaches.... nonetheless we're keeping
our fingers crossed in hope of encountering our first nesting turtle for the
season and though obviously the nesting season is starting a bit later than
usual, we are hopeful that eventually we will have a productive season in
general.
