Our final turtle spotlight shines on the Leatherback Turtle – the largest of all sea turtle species and one that holds special significance for Trinidad and Tobago!

Leatherbacks are truly impressive. They can grow up to 2.7 metres (8 feet) in length and weigh more than 500 kg (1,100 lbs).

Unlike other sea turtles, leatherbacks do not have a hard, bony shell. Instead, their carapace is covered with oily flesh and flexible, leather-like skin the unique feature that gives them their name.

Trinidad and Tobago is home to some of the world's most important nesting beaches for these remarkable creatures, making their protection especially important.

You might be surprised to learn that some of the greatest threats to marine health are items that were never meant to be in the water.

Abandoned, Lost, and Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG)—like old nets and hooks—continues to trap and harm marine life long after they are lost. The damage doesn't stop there. Over time, these synthetic materials break down into microplastics, which contaminate the entire food web we depend on.

We can help by supporting sustainable fishing initiatives and participating in local coastal cleanup efforts. Let’s keep our oceans clear of debris!

Today’s Spotlight: The Loggerhead Turtle!

Did you know these gentle giants roam our waters? Loggerheads are easily identified by their massive heads and the five distinct lateral bony plates on their shells.

While they are considered rare visitors to Trinidad and Tobago, we have had several exciting confirmed sightings over the last 12 years ranging from our east and south coasts to the waters of Chaguaramas and around Tobago!

A Success Story: In 2017, a stranded loggerhead was rescued and rehabilitated on the east coast of Trinidad. After being fitted with a satellite tag, it was released back into the wild. The data was fascinating the turtle spent time exploring the Gulf of Paria before moving on!

Turtles and their eggs are often targeted by poachers around the world for their meat as well as for harvesting their carapaces (shells).

However, in T&T, The Protection of Turtle and Turtle Eggs explicitly prohibit the killing, harpooning, or possession of turtles, as well as the collection or sale of their eggs. Offenders face substantial fines for each offense of poaching, trafficking, or consumption.

Today, we highlight the Olive Ridley sea turtle, the second smallest of the world’s seven sea turtle species. While Olive Ridleys are seldom seen in T&T, they are known for their spectacular synchronised mass-nestings, called “arribadas”. Olive ridleys are known for their heart-shaped, olive-green to grayish shell, and can reach a weight of up to 45 kg.

T&T successfully rehabilitated and released a distressed Olive Ridley sea turtle in 2024.
