Unfortunately it appears lots of turtle nests are getting robbed instead of having their eggs rescued by anyone who will save them. Lots of them have been dug up on the downtown beach during the past several weeks, and I always see sandal prints instead of boot prints around the dug up nests, suggesting they were stolen instead of rescued by sailors from the local Apostadero Naval. Bummer!

Guess it's more important to rid the beaches of dogs than it is the egg Poachers! How about some leg hold traps around the nests then all is needed is to pick up the Poachers in the Mornings!

Rob, living here now on the Space Coast for almost 17 years I've seen hurricanes come and go several times but never one like this last one. You're lucky to be living in my favorite place in the world. Also lucky to not have been here living thru the storm or having to live with the aftermath of it. You get your share even there as we all know that we can run but we cannot hide from nature. I would still like to wake up there after one of these than anywhere else you can name. Keep up the good work and getting the WORD out to all of us--even the ones that cannot be there right now.

After watching Hurricane Matthew leave its trail of devastation and death in Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas and to a lesser degree my second home state of Florida (with a big shout out to the techs who kept my server up and running while Jacksonville took a heavy blow), I can't help but thank my lucky stars to be right where I am in the sheltered bay of Zihuatanejo. If I were still at my last job before leaving Florida I'd be helping repair downed and damaged cable TV lines all over the Space Coast. Whew!

What a marvelous sight to wake up to!
