I would recommend you subscribe to the CTURTLE listserv http://accstr.ufl.edu/cturtle.html for more specific answers about the sea turtles if you don't find any researchers from ECOLOG that know.
You've asked a lot of very broad questions... is this for grad research or an undergrad project? I visited the Galapagos in 2007 and there's a lot of info online - try the Galapagos Conservancy website - http://www.galapagos.org/2008/ or the Galapagos Park website http://www.galapagospark.org/ Wendee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wendee Holtcamp, M.S.
