Good to know

  • Please do not touch the turtles or put your hands in the pools: hatchlings are fragile and easily stressed.
  • Photos are welcome, without flash.
  • Bring water, a hat and mosquito repellent for the mangrove.
  • Your donation, even small, directly funds food and care for the turtles.

Schools, universities and companies

We regularly welcome schools, universities and company teams for education programs, mangrove planting and clean-ups. Contact us to build a program together.
