Default Re: Some boats will have to carry monitors of sea turtles

Loggerhead turtles are quite common during the summer. Seen many in the mudhole area and during trips to the canyons. Leatherback are less common but they are absolutely huge. Have seen maybe a dozen or so over the years, their size is pretty impressive. Good news is turtles will usually sound before you get too close. Hitting a loggerhead would be bad for the loggerhead, hitting a leather back I think would be worse for the boat who hit it! Part of nature's beauty when you travel off shore!
