That's very bad news. I sure hope we are more successful with our conservation efforts in the Gulf. Leatherbacks are my personal favorite of all the sea turtles; my childhood was filled with sightings and nests - they are wonderful people, leatherbacks.

It is a real shame. I also visited some turtle nesting sites on Little Perhentian. They even have a hatchery there. One night the turtles hatched and started off on a mad dash to the sea. But then some overly eager tourists began snapping photos, despite admonitions that doing so would disorient the baby turtles, and true enough some of the hatchlings began veering off in the wrong direction.
I want to visit the nesting site and see these wonderful animals first hand, I just hope that I will be able to now.
