The folks from Palm Beach County called me today to report a stranded leatherback. I drove down to Lantana ( about 15 miles south of our survey area) and was saddened to see a large 158cm dead male leatherback turtle. I bet he was on his way south for the season. No immediate cause of death could be identified.

You guys are conducting cool research!
did you just add the "comments"? Grisly shot of the dead leatherback the head looks worse than the rest maybe a boat hit his head?
