Hanken, James 1974 Dermochelys coriacea 5 August Green Turtle Station sea level, Tortuguero, Costa Rica frequently found at different points along the perimeter of the tub. The "frenzy" was maintained at an almost constant fast rate for the first few days but by August 14th a decrease in the rate was detected. Today the hatchling was still swimming constantly, but at a slower rate. During this time the turtle has had essentially no nourishment, its only food being a small piece of given it by Cluea Carr. All these observations This account has been made solely from casual observation of the turtle made when I've walked past it behind the station in these last few days.
