We explore the importance of sea turtles to humans. We let these co-existing creatures and people speak to us about how the oceans are changing and what it means for animals and us. Imagine an 800-pound turtle and you’ve just envisioned merely an average female Leatherback they can weigh over a ton.įrom tropical New Guinea jungle beaches to chilly waters off Newfoundland, we come face-to-face with animals, villagers, fishermen, and researchers living entwined lives.

The Leatherback has seen dinosaurs come and go and is the closest thing we have to a last-living dinosaur. Together, we pursue Earth’s last warm-blooded monster reptile, the skin-covered Leatherback Turtle.

With magnificent images from the oceans of three continents and evocative readings from Carl Safina's new book, Voyage of the Turtle is a global journey.
