Back in 1994 I came across a turtle poaching camp on an island off of New Guinea. Sadly there were scores of these lying around.

Tomorrow they'll release about 1,000 baby turtles to the sea here near the Cabo Riviera Marina in La Ribera. They plan to release once a week now
until the nests in the nursery are empty. You can learn more about it on Baja Pony Express.

Massive Monday! A massive turtle release this Monday, that is! Sixty days ago a tropical storm came through and a herd of Momma turtles raised onto
the beaches in front of the coming storm to lay their eggs. More than 20 nests were found the following morning and now...they are ready to hatch!
Come join Grupo Tortuguero de Los Barriles and personally experience the baby turtle program this Monday when nearly 1,000 babies are scheduled to
begin their lifelong journey in the sea. Further, during October through mid-November, nearly each afternoon at 6 pm (5 pm after daylight savings time
next week) turtles are released in front of the nursery or within 1 kilometer north to south. Hundreds of babies are launched - like Monday, last
October over one thousand babies were also released and all the school children came to experience and celebrate the event. More details can be found
on Facebook page 'Grupo Tortuguero de Los Barriles'. Noe Araiza can be contacted at 044-624-16-09625 or afternoons at Smokey's. Omar can be contacted
at 044-624-11-73561 or days at East Cape Casas & RV Resort. Your donations are appreciated; costs for the 4 month long program run high and except
for a small stipend, the Araiza's are self funding. Their four wheelers are pushed to their limits cruising the shores at dawn looking for momma
turtle tracks. Nursery fencing and signage requires an annual investment. Head lamps, shovels and gas all must be purchased. For the Araiza's, it's
the love of the turtles and their deep interest in assuring they have the same place in the world in the next millennium that they have in the last,
that keeps the Araiza's enthusiastic and committed. Please come out, join them, bring your friends, families. You'll go away in awe.
