The Mystery of the Hawksbill from WCFF on Vimeo.
Short film on the recent discovery of a Hawksbill aggregation in the Sea of Cortez, at one small estuary in San Jose Island. Yet a new discovery for science, local fisherman already knew about the presence of careyes in the estuary. They stopped fishing sea turtles long ago, and established a fishery refuge in the estuary. Since then hawksbills came back in important numbers, staying longer than expected. A surprise that has aroused more questions than answered, opening a new path that scientists will follow to pursue better-informed conservation strategies for this endangered species.
