Large monitor lizards roam the island, but sadly a common sight is seeing these magnificent beasts scavenging in mismanaged or dumped waste.
Much to do...

Happy #WorldTurtleDay yesterday. Seen lots of these Green and Hawksbill beauties this week helping out on the TortugaNegra #Galapagos photo ID survey with lots of enthusiastic students at the science centre.
​We found one Green turtle that had been IDed off the same beach in 2010, 2014 and 2016... Pretty cool and shows they don't get out much!
Also spent a wonderful couple of hours surfing this afternoon, with turtles and sealions popping up everywhere. Only in the Galapagos!
​Let's kick the plastic bag habit and keep the sea safe for turtles! #seaturtle #plasticpollution
