Green turtles graze on seagrass beds in the sandy lagoons around Caja de Muertos and can be approached closely when resting beneath coral overhangs. The island's beaches are active nesting sites from June through October, and nesting females are sometimes visible from the surface at dusk.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
