Sea Turtle Night Survey

As volunteers participating in the sea turtle nesting survey for the Reserve Naturelle, we were invited to a dinner with the Reserve and the other volunteers at Enold’s in Grand Case (try the chicken colombo). Afterwards, we headed to Baie aux Prunes and Baie Longue to see if we could find any nesting leatherback turtles, since their nesting season had just begun. We were not lucky enough to see any, but it was a beautiful night on the beach and the clear visibility gave us a great view of Saba at night. I took a bunch of long-exposure photos of the survey.

If you see sea turtles nesting, don’t bug them! You can also call the Nature Foundations turtle hotline to report your sighting: 9229.
