How exciting... They went searching for more babies but were unable to locate any so they took the five baby honu's to the ocean's edge , she described them as actually "knowing" where they were and had gotton excited as they were placed on the sand where they then trotted to the ocean as if to know exactly what to do. I thanked her and got her number I think someone may want to contact her and perhaps get more information? but just passing this on to you it takes but just one act of " malama " she and her friend managed to save what we all thought as zero to 5 of these species I think that is something to pass on. <br /><br />Kainoa Gonsalves<br />Maui DLNR - Division of Aquatic Resources<br />Ofc: (808) 243-5178 Fax: (808) 243-5833<br />Kainoa.L.Gonsalves@hawaii.govkainoa.l.gonsalves@hawaii.govnoreply@blogger.com
