I dream to go there since seventh grade. We had a home assignment to read and translate a text about Barbados Turtles. The story itself and the pictures of turtles were so awesome that I realized I have to go there when grown up.
“Barbados is home to a healthy population of hawksbill and leatherback turtles. Once endangered by over-fishing, these great creatures are now protected and monitored throughout the Island.
In some areas the local fishermen feed and care for them, scraping barnacles of their backs and making sure that their nesting area is safe.
Turtles are sociable and tend to stay in the same area, following a steady routine. So long as they do not leave a habitat, they can be seen playing and feeding along the inshore reefs. In certain monitored areas they have become accustomed to humans and are relatively tame. You can swim with them as they feed amongst the coral…” abc (c) vacation-in-barbados.com
