Be sure to check out this months issue of National Geographic! One of "our" nesting leatherbacks is featured in a story on light pollution. In May, the leatherback crew assisted world renowned photographer Jim Richardson, as he captured the image on Singer Island.
This turtle was new to our beach and Jim captured images as she was measured, tagged, and sent on her way. We named her "Kathy" after Jim's wife, and we are excited that Kathy has become an ambassador for creating awareness about this important issue facing wildlife and those of us who appreciate a dark sky filled with stars.
The image can be seen in the print magazine and here:
