Our Mission.

Conservation and research on nesting sea turtle populations.

Increase hatching success rates by protecting nests and in extreme cases, relocating nests to hatcheries.
Increasing the chances of hatchlings reaching mature adulthood.
Reduce predation and poaching rates on our beaches by carrying out regular patrols.
Helping turtles that have suffered injuries as a result of bycatch, pollution, and damages from boats, other animals, or natural causes.
Regular beach clean ups where we reuse garbage that is washed up on the beach and recycle the rest.
Collecting data and conducting research to influence policy makers and to fill in information gaps in scientific research studies.

Provide better jobs with a steady income to people in the community. Specifically gold miners and ex poachers.
Educate locals on the importance of conservation within their community, to promote safe practices of ecotourism, and be more aware of plastic consumption and littering.
Provide English lessons to improve the lives of locals and to help community members take on leading roles in our project for tours, education, and manage overseas volunteers.
Offer other services or tours, outside of turtle conservation, so that other community organizations may have a substantial income as well from ecotourism.
