Hope for leatherback sea turtles

By Sarah Otterstrom | Executive Director

Dear Friend,

I am so happy to give you some happy news during this busy holiday season. Thank you for being a part of our sea conservation program.

You are helping us to share the ground-breaking investEGGAtor sea turtle technology with conservation groups in the Caribbean and you are making it possible for our community rangers to protect nests in Central America.

Since our last update to you, a leatherback sea turtle has returned to nest two more times at the beach near the property of Bongo Experience. There, the landowner is working in close coordination with us to ensure that each nest on that beach is placed inside a protected hatchery.

Thanks to your support, we are now protecting three Pacific leatherback nests. Each baby sea turtle represents hope for this species that teeters on the edge of extinction.

Thank you, and have a wonderful week in the lead up to the holiday.

Sarah
