Olive Ridley Sea Turtle in Marbella, Costa Rica
In 2011 a nest of Olive Ridley sea turtle eggs was relocated to Marbella, Costa Rica and monitored by a group of environmentalist who nurtured these little beings until their maiden voyage to the Pacific. Here one of the new born turtles makes its way to the water's edge before disappearing into the surf. With some luck this turtle will someday return to Marbella to lay a nest of its own.
