Sobre el programa

The main focus of this project is the conservation of of sea turtles, the protection of forest ecosystems and natural regeneration areas. It is the most important national beach marine turtle nesting alone, this means that there are spawning of different species throughout the year.The species of sea turtles that we mostly work with are the LoraTurtle and the Green Sea Turtle.

Working with Turtles

To work with turtles means that you will be doing night and day patrols on the beach (depending at high tide). You will patrol on the beach to collect turtle eggs and relocate them to a turtle hatchery where they will be safe from poachers. Furthermore, you will be working at the hatchery, take care of the turtle eggs and the freshly hatched turtles and make sure that they are well prepared for their way back to the ocean.

Location
Our project is close to the city Nosara. You are located very close to the beach.

Jairo and Lauren were very helpful and taught us everything we needed to know about the turtles and the arribada. This is the place to be if you ...

I used different teaching strategies to best suit each child, keeping them interested and eager to learn. I would have liked, prior to my arrival, to have been more prepped on what ...
