Become Involved
Contact us at: patronatocabodeleste@gmail.com or the” Turtle Lady” bajaturtles@gmail.com
We need volunteers to help in many different ways. We are encompassing a large area of Baja Sur, Mexico.
Patronato Cabo del Este is a non profit organization working in conjunction with the authorities of Mexico who
protect and preserve the coastline here at the Sea of Cortez. Our location is called the East cape. We have many
inhabitants here who live on the waterfront. We can use help watching for the activity of the Sea Turtle, nesting
and hatching. We would like to be contacted when nesting occurs to ensure the safety of our turtles. During
hatching many things can happen to decrease there chances of reaching the water. Predators and disturbances to
the path to the sea are a major problem. Light pollution can also have a devastating effect. We will host educational
classes to increase everyone’s awareness and knowledge will be gained. With this information each and every person
who cares to make a difference will have their chance here in the East Cape.
Share stories and your knowledge with us here on our web page. The sharing of each experience help us grow in force to
ensure the longevity of this majestic species.
We will welcome you to join us in all of our activities.

Estan haciendo un muy buen trabajo. Felicidades..! Da gusto encontrar personas que se preocupan por la concervación de las tortugas, entre otras especies.
En estos días, estaré libre de la escuela. Me gustaría participar en algunas de sus actividades. Espero que tengan una en puerta y si la hay no duden en enviarme un correo.
Nuevamente, felicidades..!!
