Volunteer with Sea Turtles

General Info

Based in 2 locations volunteers work at the turtle hatchery itself where turtles are bred and re-introduced to the sea at the right time. The other location on the beach is a natural breeding centre where the staff monitor the turtles coming ashore at night then mark the area where they have laid eggs. The staff monitor the beaches to ensure the turtles can continue without the human disturbance. Volunteers can work doing night shifts on the beach on turtle watch with the staff and also work in the hatchery itself helping maintain the breeding tanks, feeding, releasing and also advising the visiting tourists of what the operation is all about. Full training and information is given on induction but it its advisable to research turtles before you travel to give you an advantage.
