The same happens in Costa Rica where a few Americans –and some Ticos- from the Leatherback Trust had made their living collecting money to presumably protect the leatherbacks that still manage to arrive to playa Grande National Park. They should be ashamed of their business and start seeking work like everyone else. When that people start protecting the turtles -as they said - the number of leatherbacks arriving were up to 2000 per season; today no more than 30 are counted.
Yes totally agree. But at least if they did want to watch, they should be sitting behind the turtle in complete silence so they could watch the turtle nesting her eggs and are well out of its view. Even though they reckon turtle's sight on land isn't great, you never know what they really pick up on. Still, great footage, fantastic to take a movie, what a privilege to see!
Was this in Barbados?

it is rare for sea turtles nesting in the day time, and the people and tourists shouldn't be there to disturb the leatherback
