The loggerhead turtle images were taken at the National Aquarium in
Washington, D.C. The photo was taken through the aquarium glass.
To my knowledge all seaturtles are protected, listed as Federally
Endangered or Threatened. I'm glad to hear that SC restricts access to
the seaturtles while they're nesting!
