Leatherback turtle nesting in Grand Riviere has seen a significant increase, with 228 nests being recorded between March 1st and 17th.

Grand Riviere is a well-known nesting site for these majestic creatures, making it a crucial area for their survival. Nesting sites are vital for the continuation of the species, as they provide a safe space for the turtles to lay and incubate their eggs.
