    Protection, Conservation of Marine Turtles

    Our Marine Turtle Protection Activities

    - We carry out nightly tours, on the beaches of Aventuras-DIF, Chemuyil, Xcacel, Xel-Há, Kanzul and Caapechén, we record the features of the females and mark them with a small steel plate, similar to an earring; and if necessary, we transfer the turtle eggs to an incubation pen to protect them from predators and tidal changes.

    - We carry out awareness conferences, cleaning of beaches, school tours to the nesting beaches and the Marine Turtle Festival, which is held in Tulum at the end of every season with the purpose of celebrating this wonderful event with a massive release of the turtle hatchlings.
