"The St Eustatius Turtle Programme started in 2001 by raising public awareness about seat turtle biology, habitats and conservation issues. Monitoring of nesting beaches began in 2002 and occurs each year on a daily basis throughout the nesting season, with the aistance of the Working Abroad volunteer programme. Three species of sea turtles have been recorded nesting on the island: the leatherback, the green turtle and the hawksbill. There was also an unconfirmed nesting of a loggerhead (Caretta caretta) in 2004. The nesting season on St Eustatius runs for around eight months each year: leatherbacks nest early in the year, between March and June, while greens and hawksbills typically nest from May - October. Zeelandia is the only beach that hosts all three species and it is the only place on the island where leatherbacks nest."
