What an incredible day! I see Green #Iguanas all the time (yes, I know I'm lucky), but being in the water with one was an unreal experience, especially since he was so chill. That's my wife Jen in the photo (my attempt at a photo with him mostly just showed off my bald spot)

Week 2 of #hicatee surveys with our good friends and research partners at Wildlife Conservation Society Belize is off to a great start. We caught 7 more turtles (and 2 crocodiles) last night. We are up to 38 total for the year! Pretty good for a Critically Endangered species! #Turtles #SaveTheHicatee 1/2

If I look annoyed here, it's because these fish were constantly trying to rip off my moles and any other skin imperfections they could find. Good thing they are small, their teeth are sharp!

We made it to this year's meeting of the Turtle Survival Alliance (naturally went straight for the turtle tank) looking forward to 3 days of hearing about #turtle #research and seeing old friends
