Oh wonderful. Reptiles and Amphibians take a beating when it comes to pollution and disasters. Its lovely to see some progress in tracking and identifying these babies. Provides a better chance for conservation and recovery.
Such beautiful little turtles!

Because the people taking pictures are doing ecological data collection and conservation. Turtles can be quick, so holding them to get proper identification and checking their health is needed. It doesn't hurt them, so long as they are returned to the exact spot they were collected from.
