Sanctuaries in Costalegre Sea Turtle Conservation
Mexico is considered one of the most important sanctuaries for the arrival of diverse groups of sea turtles. Each year, individuals of green, black, hawksbill, leatherback, loggerhead, and olive ridley turtles arrive at nesting beaches, feeding grounds, and specialized camps, sites that make our country a key territory for the conservation of turtles, one of the most ancient species on the planet. The Costalegre region in Jalisco is undoubtedly a benchmark in this field.
From September to December, the camps in La Gloria, in the municipality of Tomatlán, and those in Melaque and Barra de Navidad, in Cihuatlán, invite high schools and universities, biology students or related fields, and volunteers to participate in environmental protection, research, and education activities. The stay can be for a week, two weeks, or a month.
This volunteer program consists of beach patrol, caring for nesting females, collecting, planting, and caring for nests, as well as releasing hatchlings into the sea. It is an enriching experience that allows you to come into contact with nature, preserving a species considered at risk of extinction while enjoying the luminous beaches of Costalegre.
Mayto
Another site that combines the immense landscapes of Costalegre with sea turtle protection sanctuaries is the Mayto Turtle Camp, in the municipality of Cabo Corrientes. It was established in 2005 with the purpose of promoting environmental education and conservation to protect the tortoises.
At this secluded site, far from the urban hustle and bustle, you can also volunteer to monitor nests, collect eggs, and transplant them. In addition, you’ll witness the impressive wildlife that surrounds the area, populated by mammals such as deer and pumas, as well as the region’s native flora, mangroves, and a vast, 11.4 km (7 mi) pristine beach where you can camp, surf, play volleyball, or enjoy splendid evening walks to appreciate the spectacular sunsets this destination offers.
Careyes
Careyes is another benchmark in turtle conservation. Since 1983, Teopa Beach was transformed into a sanctuary that, from protecting ten nests that year, has grown to more than 2,600 nests in recent seasons. From October to December, baby turtles are released under the Environmental Education Program, aimed at the communities near the Teopa Sanctuary.
The sanctuary welcomes children and young adults from preschool to high school. However, the rest of the year, releases are made by reservation and availability of hatchlings, for the Careyes community and tourists seeking the opportunity to get up close to species such as the olive ridley, the black or brown sea turtle, the hawksbill turtle, and the leatherback turtle, which are abundant in the area.
