Olive Ridley Sea Turtles Nest in Marbella, Costa Rica

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.

Even the small towns have been impacted by this cycle - and Marbella is no exception. Recently Century21 in Nosara put me up to the task of looking into the latest construction trends in Guanacaste to make some sense of what seems to be a definite uptick in construction over the last twelve months - particularly in Marbella and Playa Guiones. While working through this project I came across the Google Earth time lapse mapping tool and it blew my mind to see construction patterns throughout Playa Guiones from 2004-2013 (see images below).
