Pacific Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata bissa)
the rear of its shell appears to be deteriorating
This Eastern Pacific Hawksbill, Eretmochelys imbricata, was the first official reported capture of the species utilising the mangroves of La Barrona as a foraging ground. This lead to Akazul joining the EPH initiative called ICAPO, and forming a national network for sightings of the species across the country.
This turtle swam up from deep water along a rocky wall and rapidly made its way to the surface.
