Beautiful view of sea creatures as it's supposed to be. We only see dead and dying sea life and coastal birds on the Gulf Coast after the BP oil disaster. What a shame we don't respect the divine creation and pass it to the next generation as this video shows.
I'm glad that you posted this historic video. I was the Videographer and Editor for the PBS show "The Heartbreak Turtle". I would love to see the entire show posted here. I don't even have a copy myself. Thanks.
Thanks for posting the video. If you work with sea turtle conservation you've probably read it already... but I encourage you guys to read "The Windward Road" by Archie Carr.
As a sea turtle biologist, I've heard about this video for decades, but this is the first time I've seen it. Thanks for posting it! I'm so glad Hildebrand was persistent enough to find the Kemp's ridley nesting site in Rancho Neuvo!
Sea Turtle Restoration Project and HEART (Help Endangered Animals-Ridley Turtles) have finally made this historic film of Kemp's ridley sea turtles nesting on a Mexican beach. This film was made before turtles were poached and eggs were taken there while the American shrimp fleet drowned them by the thousands in the Gulf of Mexico. Help is still needed to make sure this sea turtle does not slip back toward its near extinction in the 80s. Carole H. Allen, Gulf Office Director, STRP and HEART

I worked there for 4 years, and it was an experience. We did not have as many turtles, only 500 left them, but they are back!!!
