Welcome back to A Sea Turtle Picture A Day. Today we are heading down south of the border to a private school in Rocky Point. The reason we are here is to help with the release of a an adult female Hawksbill that has been in captivity there for 8 years. This turtle was caught by local fishermen and brought to the school. We were there to attach a satellite transmitter to her shell to track her movements once we released her.
As you can tell by the picture this was a very big event in this little city.
She is currently still transmitting and is just south of Loreto which is in the Baja Peninsula.
This picture was taken with a 28-200 mm lens

See you tomorrow
