Africa: Sea Turtle Heaven.

GABON -- A comprehensive study of sea turtles has revealed that the largest concentration of Leatherback turtles is to be found on the southern beaches of Gabon. The Convention on Migratory Species reports that the Atlantic coast of Africa hosts some of the planet's most critical turtle feeding and nesting sites. Other findings: Mauritania is the most important feeding ground for Green turtles; the largest congregation of loggerhead turtles in the Atlantic is found on Boa Vista in the Cape Verde Islands; Olive Ridley turtles nest from Guinea-Bissau south to Angola.
