Whenever I see comments like "You're not supposed to interfere with nature", I always laugh after I see videos like this...the fact is we're interfering all the time...which is a GOOD thing 😌
Some people don’t understand the level of professionalism these scientists have, they are not just doing this out of curiosity, but also to help develop new ways to protect these speciesism
It´s so cool they have such a wide migratory range. Such a sturdy and slow animal, being one of the widest travelers, seeing the whole world. Really has a fairytale or fable- vibe to it!
According to Wikipedia, that population might be extinct. They haven't seen any new nests for years (but of course, not necessarily a reliable source). Good news is that Leatherbacks frequently cross entire oceans each year, so they may return.
- I always buy "save sea turtle" bracelets to donate to companies. I hope that money *does actually* go to helping them. I mean, it must when you see how many places are trying.. right?
it would be best to walk instead of riding the tractor over the sand while you're looking for sea turtle nests to avoid stepping on as many sea turtle eggs as possible
They are. Leatherbacks keep jellyfish populations under control. Right now, jellyfish numbers are exploding, getting stuck in our boat propellers and otherwise making a nuisance of themselves. I'm not saying that all conservation efforts that help humans in some way, but there are cases ones which do (such as leatherbacks and beavers)
There are plenty of resources that help humans, but not as many aiding the conservation of endangered sea turtles. Just because an effort is made in one place, does not mean it's not made in another elsewhere. We can do both, and we are.
The flippers on sea turtles are so flippin cute! ❤

- There's a difference between interfering && helping. A *huge* difference in fact!

- 4:55 I thought he was going to remove the pesky barnacles like Jacob Knowles 🙄
Thanks for all the work you guys do. It’s so necessary
Thanks for all the great research and effort you're doing! Keep it up. The world needs those turtles. And, we owe them the future.
Great Work, Thank You.
In a WWF talk I heard in Malaysia they aren't doing well, hope they can recover....

Would love to one day see big flotillas of sea turtles.
My local PBS LPB Normally shows Nature on Wednesday where is this episode i❤turtles 🐢

When do they get big!?
I know!! I guess We’ll have to follow this research to find out
@@ohboilien you can't compare sizes?
@@jasoncable8789 when they reach adulthood👍
Dude should've got rid of the barnacles...
I love turtles i had one when i was a child
wow you have a rare sea turtle right there just let you know that i wish available in java island
Turtles
Why they don't remove the barnacles attached on the green? They should do it tho
Perhaps they couldn't perform it safely, or do it if a turtle has a certain amount of them. Barnacles don't benefit the turtle.
I wonder if any other species had such wide impacts on so many others?
Perhaps cyanobacteria?
love

Welcome
and get rid of the barnacles on their backs please since you made the effort to catch them you might as well...

@@jericoba barnacles harm turtles
@@clara8404 I never said they do not harm. Read my post again.

Imagine if all these science geniuses were doing something to help *humans*
