Context

During certain seasons, different species of sea turtles arrive at beaches on the Pacific to lay their eggs. Weeks later, the hatchlings emerge and seek the sea guided by natural signals that lights, noise and human presence can alter. Some local projects monitor nests, protect beaches and carry out educational activities. Joining them lets you understand that a release is not a scheduled show: it happens only when the biological process and the conservation protocols allow it.

What can you do?

• Get to know monitoring and protection projects
• Take part in authorized educational activities
• Accompany releases when conditions allow
• Learn to recognize tracks and threats
• Support initiatives through responsible visits and contributions
