In Mexico, sea turtle eggs are a delicacy -- and are even considered an aphrodisiac... That's been one of the biggest hurdles in Mexico; last year or so, one conservation group distributed posters with attractive models on them, saying something to the effect, that you don't need to eat sea turtle eggs to be virile.
