Green turtle recipes

I doubt there is anything illegal about posting sea turtle recipes on the internet. But in seems in poor taste to post recipes that include an endangered species.

Does anyone know the rules on this?

I presume the recipes would work just as well with a substitute meat, but they do specifically mention green turtles.

Found the following in the websites Terms of Service. Could they be considered to be inciting illegal action by posting the recipes?

Driver Who Killed Sea Turtle Identified

Proponents of beach driving really need to avoid this kind of thing. It does not help their case. Although it seems a bit ridiculous to allow driving at all on a sea turtle nesting beach during nesting season. What do you expect is going to happen?

Counting turtly stuff

In the intern house at the Bald Head Island Conservancy they have a board on the wall where they keep track of the nests laid so far. They have the usual:

Nests: 61

and False Crawls: 74

and Hatched Nests: 0 (still early in the season yet)

There are however a few other interesting stats they are keeping track of.

Tailless racoons: 1

Intern Traps: 13 (sand pits left behind by inconsiderate beach-goers, some of which the interns have fallen in while patrolling at night)

Naked people: 2 (I'll have to get the story on that one)

Tags: 2 (I presume this refers to the two satellite tags we have deployed so far this season)

And finally...

# of times Kat has catapulted out of golf cart: 2 (Kat being one of the interns)
