Last update: 10 hours agoSea Turtle Comeback: Nicaragua’s Marena says more than 440,000 endangered sea turtles were released on Pacific coasts this year, including olive ridley, hawksbill, leatherback and green turtles, with key releases at La Flor and Chacocente beaches (famous for arribadas) plus Estero Padre Ramos.
