Hawksbills spotted as divers check Jiquilisco Bay's health

Environment ministry monitoring found typical estuary and reef fish, plus two hawksbill turtles.

Environment ministry (MARN) teams stepped up underwater monitoring in Bahía de Jiquilisco. Biologist Enrique Barraza said conditions matched earlier surveys, and at Punta San Juan the team recorded two hawksbill turtles along with snappers, jacks, groupers and lobsters over hard bottom, which he read as a sign of a healthy bay.
