Mexico's navy teams up with conservationists and local children to release some 4,000 endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles into the wild.
Four thousand baby turtles and six hundred school children came together at a beach in Mexico today in an effort to "Save the Turtles."
The mission of the day: to release these four thousand turtles into the ocean.
The sea turtle hatchlings are of the Olive Ridley species, which are on the endangered species list.
Its eggs are a prized delicacy in Mexico and are openly sold in food markets despite government laws banning their capture.
And that should change, says a student from a local primary school.
