You can spot them alongMatura, Manzanilla, and Grand Riviere beaches in Trinidad and Turtle Beach andEnglishman's Bay in Tobago (although contact the Forestry Division first for apermit). Or enlist a guide from conservation groups and eco-tour operators likeSave Our Sea Turtles and Nature Seekers. Lucky visitors get to witness a birth,or see the one-inch hatchlings scramble into the ocean.
棱皮龜是世界上最大的海龜，重達1000磅，身量可以達八英尺長，也是動物界中一種極為古老的物種，其歷史科媲美恐龍。每年三月到八月，大約有6000只棱皮龜會到特立尼達和多巴哥的海岸安家。你可以在曼圖拉、曼薩尼亞、特立尼達的大里維埃海濱以及多巴哥的海龜海灘和英國灣觀賞他們（當然要通過林業部拿到第一許可證）運氣好的游客，還能看到大龜生產或者，一寸大的雛龜爬進海洋。
