Volunteer Joan Becker took this photo during a marine turtle patrol day.

Loggerhead turtle tracks, tractor tracks and man's footprints as seen in the early morning light. 2008 was a pretty good year for the turtles. Not as good as 2007...beach erosion caused some nest loss this year.

Didn't see any of the turtles on land but a lot either in the sea or in a rock pool
