Reefs South of Sebastian Inlet Have Costa Rican Turtles

"Researchers with the University of Central Florida have been studying the sea turtles that congregate on the nearshore reefs south of Sebastian Inlet in Indian River County, Florida. In recent years, genetic analysis has shown that these juvenile sea turtles come from throughout the Caribbean and Atlantic to forage on the abundant green algae that grows on the reefs."
