Arribada!

The olive ridley sea turtle commonly known as Lora in Costa Rica is the only one of the seven swimming turtles that lay their nests in an arribada. An arribada is when hundreds of turtles come up onto the beach to lay their eggs over a 4-6 day period. This is a predator prey saturation tactic that is used to allow the sucess of their young. Arribadas are also known as flotas in Costa Rica specifically.
