RESULTS

Following are the results of our 2022 work year, enabled by collaboration with local communities, community groups, and visitors who help us conduct sea turtle patrols, deter threats, generate ecological information, and maintain our sea turtle hatchery.

Sea turtle nests recorded and protected

In September 2022, the Tortugas Preciosas team tagged a nesting female Hawksbill for the first time and fitted her with a GPS satellite transmitter. This is the first hawksbill turtle tagged and monitored in the Osa Peninsula with this technology, with the aim of obtaining important information on their movements, routes and habitat use across their distribution.
