Sea Turtles are Endangered Species, therefore
we have strict Guidelines for our Volunteers. The use of flashlights or headlamps is prohibited unless they have a red filter (most headlamps do).
Insect repelants, perfume,
lotions, and cigarette residue can harm eggs, hatchlings, and nesting adults, The use of these items is prohibited if
you will be handeling the turtles or eggs. Flash photography is strictly prohibited Dark colored clothing is required for nightly patrols Bonfires are prohibited, they cook unseen nests, and the light inhibits
nesting
Tortugueros Las Playitas A.C. takes conservation seriously, and strives to follow these guidelines. You can Help by: not making bonfires on the
beach, picking up someone
else's plastic left on the beach, making
sure your construction debris is disposed of properly not driving on nesting beaches, nor building on the precious dunes.
