Winner of the Fritz Pölking Award 2010

Many female olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) are swimming from the open ocean towards the beach of Ostional, Costa Rica, Pacific Ocean to gather for  an arribada (mass nesting event). They are not very shy and curiously probe the photographer's equipment. They feed on a broad selection of floating organism - and unfortunately may as well bite into or even swallow plastic depris or fishing hooks. | Schwimmende Oliv-Bastardschildkröten (Lepidochelys olivacea) sind nicht sehr scheu und nähern sich neugierig ihnen unbekannten Objekten. Offenbar sind sie in Bezug auf Nahrung durchaus experimentierfreudig, was sich einerseits in ihrem breiten Beutespektrum zeigt, aber fatalerweise auch dazu führt, dass sie groÃ�e Mengen an Plastikmüll oder auch Angelköder mit Haken verschlucken und häufig daran zu Grunde gehen.
