Project Report | Oct 5, 2024
We are getting some baby turtles!

By Jose Maria Argueta | Executive Director

This project is moving forward thanks to the generous contributions of many people. The participants and beneficiaries of the project have been doing the following activities:

  • Cleaning up the beach to help the sea turtles lay eggs
  • Building the hatchery to collect at least 70,000 eggs of sea turtle
  • Collected more than 40,000 eggs to incubate in the hatchery
  • Released about 1,500 hatchlings or baby turtles
  • Collected information on sea turtle nesting sites

We have incubated more than 40,000 eggs in our hatchery. This is wonderful because we have good results to show and the ocean will have more turtles to balance its ecosystem. 

The community of Isla de Méndez will get more visitors when more hatchlings are released. This will be an opportunity to improve the community's image and show others how a group of people can strengthen environmental and wildlife conservation to support the health of the oceans.

We are releasing hatchlings every day and continue to collect more eggs to protect them from predators and other threats. Any person or community is invited to come to release babies until December, which is the last time you have an opportunity to learn more about sea turtle conservation.

We keep in touch!
