Sea Turtle Conservation Caribbean Coast, Costa Rica

Company : A Broader View Volunteers Corps
Activity: Conservation Volunteer Projects
Country: Costa Rica
Duration: 1 week to 3 months
Approx Costs: 750 to 2500 $ Dollars (US)

This park is the most important area in the entire west half of the Caribbean for the nesting of the green turtle.

Volunteers participate on the sea turtle preservation including monitoring and registering nesting patterns, record keeping of eggs, moving eggs to the hatchery, beach patrols, freeing of the newborns to the ocean. Experience not required, but anticipate strange work hours (middle of the night!) and lots of time spent on the beach.

Our projects are open to individuals as well as groups.  We know that volunteers play a vital role in the conservation efforts: without outside assistance, these projects would be lost. Join them and make a difference!
