recent uploads


I recently uploaded a few images of stranded turtles. Not the most beautiful subject, but it is important to document. This season I have witnessed about 6 dead turtles on the beach in Palm Beach County. Most, like this adult female green turtle were hit by boats!
There are quite a few stories recently about the red tide event on the southwest coast of Florida. There was a peroid when 30 turtles washed up dead due to the red tide. More information can be found here: Clearwater Marine Aquarium red tide page
