Turtle hatching and release dates

Eggs are laid after the rainy season and take about 60 to incubate. So, a few more weeks and the first batches will be ready to go.

Juan, with all due respect, amigo, that isn't correct. Technically turtles can lay eggs all year round, and we see some species more than others at different times of year.

July through February seems to be the peak time of year for the three species we see most often here: the Golfina, the Prieta and the Laud. The Golfina is the most common sea turtle here, and they can lay eggs year round. The past couple of years their peak season lasted until around the end of March and beginning of April.
