Notes
Green sea turtles. About a dozen of them in this area. It was a hot afternoon, around 90 degrees, between 1:15pm to 3:15pm. There were two men fishing at the bottom of the steps for the hot water outlets from the power plant (southernmost steps), and they had accidentally caught the turtle shown in my photo... they removed the hook and set the turtle free.
