Protecting Sea Turtles in Baja California
The Ocean Conservancy recently announced a new conservation tourism program titled Sea Turtle Ecological Expeditions, or SEE Turtles. The program informs travelers about sea turtle locations where local conservation efforts are under way, and provides turtle watching guidelines to travelers taking conservation tours to reduce negative impacts on turtles and the host community. Efforts are being focused on sea turtle habitat in Baja California, Costa Rica and Trinidad. Plans to expand SEE Turtles to other locations will start in 2009.
