Fortunately, the police adequately offered the necessary protection for both the eggs and turtles. A few days ago, on the beach of Playa Dorada a hawksbill turtle came ashore. The hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) can reach up to 3 feet tall with a weight of 130 pounds. The species is extinct because both the eggs and the meat of the turtle is a delicacy among the population.[/h]
