    Nesting green turtle in it's near catatonic nesting stage were it is depositing eggs into the pit it's dug on Long Beach, Ascension Island. This is the second largest nesting colony of green turtles int he world after Costa Rica, though it is most probably a far more concentrated event on Ascension Island. To arrive at Ascension the turtles have to navigate thousands of oceanic miles from the coastal areas of Brazil. At one time they were nearly wiped out here due to being good eating on ships.
