Inquiry: Aaron Honig: MONITORING NESTING SEA TURTLES IN COSTA RICA

Sea Turtles are among the ocean’s most mysterious and threatened species. Coming to land at night on the beaches of select areas of the world, they lay hundreds of eggs in their nests. The threats to these nests and their tiny hatchlings are numerous. There are often human and animal predators. And once they hatch they are food for gulls, frigatebirds, fish and numerous other marine species.  Only a tiny fraction of the young turtles make it to a mile offshore. To learn more about how sea turtles live, tune in tonight when Inquiry welcomes AARON HONIG, science educator and researcher, who has just returned from working in Costa Rica to tag and save these amazing creatures
