Tracks In The Sand: Sea Turtles And Their Protectors (Ocean Marine Life) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
So much more than a book about sea turtles, Tracks in the Sand is the profile of a state's rich coastal heritage and a showcase of its characters. Detailed with photography mined from decades of volunteer work, and fascinating in-depth personal portraits, it combines science with a poetic sense of insight uncharacteristic of the nature genre. Don't call it a turtle book. This is a story about people, passion and purpose turtles just happen to be the bond to tie all of those things together. The Turtle Patrol is not just a funny name it's a tradition, a band of hundreds of Floridian volunteers who monitor their backyard beaches every summer in the name of sea turtle conservation and protection. These enthusiasts are passionate, eccentric and absolutely unique, a culture entirely unto themselves. This is their story, tinted green and gliding through the waves.

I am spending my summer as a volunteer for the sea turtle patrol. This book helped me with so much information that I was ignorant to. It was also just a very good read. Anyone would enjoy this book. It's about giving back and being passionate about it.
