Sea Turtles Heroes I

Based on the time of the year the volunteers will be working during the day or

at night in the months of August and September from 20:00 to 08:00.

Depending on the number of turtles that come ashore, two teams might be

formed among the volunteers. In this way, each group will be taking turns,

working one night, and taking the next night off for recovery.

In addition, the weekends are also spared for resting. Some of the activities to

be performed are:

1.Finding adult turtles and collecting their eggs.

2.Moving the eggs to a protected place called Vivero.

3.Releasing newborn baby turtles into the sea.

4.Patrolling the beaches at night.

5.Making some reconstruction in the most important turtle camps of the

region.

Please consider that the schedule is subject to change depending on the

weather conditions and the condition of the sea turtles and it is possible to

work with crocodiles in case there is no work with turtles, this can happen

mostly in the months of January and February.

The coordinator or the camp leader will be informing you regarding your work

schedule.
