Ann Carlos, Tortuga expert, will give a unique presentation on turtle habitat, protection and reproduction. 

Olive Ridley Sea Turtles nest all year on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Their most prolific period begins in July and ends in December. Now, in March, hatchlings are still being protected and helped to the sea.

She will also address the recent return and nesting of the giant leatherback turtles which have not been seen in Banderas Bay for many years.

Ann is a turtle head and director of AMA Mexico's Education Programs http://amamexico.org/.  AMA Mexico is a Mexican non-profit organization to preserve and educate the public about the Olive Ridley turtles.  AMA would also like to have the help of boaters in identifying the numbers and locations that we see the turtles in our travels.
