9/26/2023:



9/27/2023: We started off the morning with a walk to the beach where we found a sea turtle heading back to the ocean after egg-laying. Then, we did a boat ride into the channels. Later that afternoon, we walked around in the national park trails. There was a vulture digging up baby sea turtles among other wildlife
