Starting today, Jan 29, the Turtle Conference will be in Loreto at the auditorium.
Stop in and say HI to Jim. He has a good selection of books with him.

Thanks for the reminder Judy... Is the conference about selling books or sea turtle conservation? Nomads can support sea turtles in Baja and elsewhere by not eating shrimp and not driving on the beaches. In the long run this also supports local economies and the local ecology… Vs. the short-term gastrointestinal desires of tourists and expats ... :yes:

Those of you who have visited Campo Archelon in BLA may have also had the opportunity to visit the turtle tanks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vraXaVwOo8M

Not sure where you are coming from with this statement but we have supported this conference for over 5 years through company sponsorships and donate a portion of our profits to Grupo every year.
This year more than ever they need outside support as they see their donations decrease as the economy shrinks.
So please stop by the auditorium whether you say HI to Jim or not.

If there is a map of verified turtle nesting sites, I believe most here would be most interested in seeing it ... and knowing when the eggs are in the sand. I have only heard about the beaches near Todos Santos and Cabo... surley there are more?
