CheloniaCast is joined by Dr. Pamela Plotkin, a renowned conservationist and biologist with a particular focus on sea turtles, and specficially the ridley turtles in the genus Lepidochelys. The conversation focuses on the unique ecology of ridley sea turtles such as their propensity to mass nest in arribadas which is unique to their genus. Various other topics relevant to Lepidochelys and sea turtles as a whole are covered in relation to their conservation and study.
