The first Leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea we found, also the first reptile species we recorded on the transect.
Below the second Leatherback, laying on his… leather back.
The head (rotated 180°), showing some teeth. I thought these were very friendly animals.
Throughout our walk we encountered very clear tide lines.
Coastal erosion at work. It wasn’t like this a month and a half ago.
Goose barnacles Lepadidae growing on a buoy.
We noticed an increase in the amount of washed up small plastic particles, including what seemed to be some industrial plastic pellets.
Near Sao Jacinto, the beach is now almost made up entirely from plastic litter.
