It's very interesting to see how Caretta caretta sea turtles are returning to nest in this area, but more information is needed on how this project works and what the next steps are.
The article discusses sea turtles but doesn't fully explain how the nest inspections were conducted. It would be helpful to have more details on how the volunteers work and what kind of support they receive from local institutions to protect these species.
