Sea Turtles: Ancient Nomads

This stimulating look at one of the world's most enduring and amazing sea creatures may be one of our last views of a remarkable relic from the past. Sea turtles have outlasted dinosaurs and survived the coming and goings of several continents, yet the existence of this remarkably tough and instinctual creatures is being challenged by the brutal side effects of progress. Audubon addresses the problems of poaching, extensive ocean pollution, and the overdevelopment and destruction of nesting beaches, and in most cases, provides viable solutions. SEA TURTLES: ANCIENT NOMADS praises the work of Dr. Archie Carr, the founding father of sea turtle research and conservation. This Audubon program uses stunning wildlife and underwater photography to capture the most intimate look at the behavior of wild sea turtles and their perilous fight for survival.
