COSTA RICA / Tropical Adventures
As a volunteer at the Ostional Sea Turtle Project in Costa Rica, you will be working to protect sea turtles on a beach in a National Wildlife Reserve of Ostional in the province of Guanacaste. Part of the activities being carried out include night patrols to eliminate illegal looting protecting baby turtles, building of a hatchery, beach cleanup and general maintenance work on the facilities. We also need help doing research projects. Due to staffing shortages volunteer support is critical!
Ostional is one of the top choices worldwide for those looking to help sea turtles. This beautiful national park is currently short-handed despite being one of only 2 areas in Costa Rica where turtles arrive every day.
About once a month we also see something called “arribada” which is when turtles arrive in a masse – usually about 3 000 turtles in a matter of 3 nights, but sometimes as many as 10 000 turtles. Protection of turtles and a volunteer help is essential during “arribadas.
Please have a look at our web site where you will find not just more information about this project, but also description of other projects of our foundation, photos, reviews and also application information. www.TropicalAdventures.com
