CRRIFS Early Nest hatched & Released

In early June, a CRRIFS volunteer was walking on San Francisco beach and noticed turtle tracks. This is early for the Olive Ridley turtles and we were not patrolling the beaches yet. The nest was taken to CRRIFS Incubation Center and volunteers monitored the nest three times a day. Another nest was reported at La Posada, so we welcomed the 2025 turtle season!

Last year an early nest found in mid-June was not viable, but with this one we could see that the eggs were developing nicely. On July 14, a head popped up. Excited volunteers kept a close eye on the hatching nest and on July 16, around 45 babies were crawling up the walls of the cooler ready to go. This happened to be a week when CRRIFS was holding a kids’ summer science and fun camp, so a special treat was in store for the campers. They helped release the baby turtles as they ran to the sea.

CRRIFS will be having camp again on from August 4 – 8th. While we can’t guarantee a turtle release, there will be other turtle things to do like touring the Incubation Center and helping feed the resident tortoises and the rescue patients at The Wildlife Rescue Center. See the flyer above or contact CRRIFS for more information about all the fun camp activities.

Since the two early nests, we have not discovered any more yet. We are ready for the mammas as they should be here soon. Once we have more nests, we will make them available for our ever-popular nest adoption program. CRRIFS can be reached on WhatsApp by phone or text at 622-152-9934.

Fishing Report

The seas were pretty nice this last week, but it didn’t help the fishing much. The water did clear, which seemed to bring in a lot of skipjack. There were some decent Sierra around, with a few small Dorado. One better one was caught, but close to Tortuga at 45 miles out. I heard of one Blue Marlin on the line. A few sailfish and Striped Marlin were caught around the Reef, backside of the Island, and just inside the Reef.

Water visibility was probably 40 – 70 feet in areas. A lot of little bait helped make for some amazing snorkeling. A few turtles are around, lots of dolphin, and some Fin Whales.

We saw some foot-wide baby Mobula Rays jumping. There are lots of small cabrilla and snapper along the shorelines. I saw one guayacan blooming a month later than their usual latest blooms, so while the water is just warming up to that critical stage to bring in the rains, who knows what the season still holds.

Diving Report

The water temperatures are still hovering in the low 80’s at Isla San Pedro Nolasco, 84 degrees on the east side and cooler, 81 degrees, on the west side of the island. Visibility is 60+ feet, very good. A local dive at Zorros, east of the Mirador was 85 degrees with about 30 feet of visibility. On the way to the dive sites at the island this past weekend, a couple of Fin whales were seen, as was a very large school of dolphins (100+). You never know what is going to be putting on a show on the high seas!

Some interesting finds this past weekend that divers don’t see often included a Stone scorpionfish with its mouth open. Scorpionfish lay-in-wait until a tasty looking fish or invert comes by, then it opens its very wide mouth and gulps it in. Their camouflage is usually much better than the one pictured above left.

Most all sea stars have 5 arms, but every once in awhile a mutation occurs. The Cushion star, pictured right, has a rather unusual fifth arm. In the shape of a fish tail, this arm grew for a time like its other arms, but then split to form two short uniform arms. Often the mutation is in an arm that has been lost, but not this one. And, either this same sea star or another with the same mutation has been seen from year-to-year for the last several years.

Both of these finds were seen at San Pedro Nolasco last weekend. If you are interested in looking for these or other unusual critters, join El Mar Diving Center of San Carlos next Saturday, July 26 for a trip to San Pedro Nolasco and/or Sunday, July 27 for a local trip. Either trip would be great for divers or snorkelers to explore the underwater world.
