Baja Turtles

On Monday December, 7th we have successfully release another nest of baby Eastern Pacific Green Sea Turtles. The nest had 88 hatch-lings and the colder weather made their journey a little slower. We had a wonderful gathering of Holiday visitors and volunteers to help these turtles on their way to the Sea of Cortez. December brings welcomed tourists to our beaches, and also the need for increased protection of these endangered species. The nest was located in an area of the East Cape called Buenos Aires. As you head out of town past the first arroyo there is a stretch of land wedged between two arroyos. This is Buenos Aries and we have had several turtles nesting here. Many forms of danger exist here for the turtles. Water Flow from the two arroyos, beach traffic, natural predators, and domestic animals. We are working with a local group ( exotickites ) to make aware the plight of The Endangered Sea Turtle. They have many avenues to help us in our efforts to protect and preserve this pristine coastline.
