An interesting documentary, and I'm sure producing it was an eye opening experience for the students involved.
As recently as six or seven years ago, on a calm fall day on the Pacific outside Mag Bay, it was not uncommon to spot the corpses of 6 or 8, or more,
dead sea turtles by scanning the water from a stationary boat. All of them by-catch from the nets and hooks of local fishermen. It is now unusual to
see a single dead turtle. This change was brought about in large part by the efforts of Grupo Tortuguero de las Californias and Hoyt Peckham.
Here are links to two reports of Hoyt's and Grupos' good works:
