SEA TURTLES OF COSTA RICA
Sea Turtles have migrated to the shores of Costa Rica to nest on the same beaches where they were born for centuries. Ancient Mayans paid homage to a Great Turtle Mother that guided them home each year to give life to the next generation. Over the past three decades, habitat destruction, over fishing, pollution, and egg poaching have decimated Sea Turtle populations once numbering in the hundreds of thousands. The Catch Conservation Fund is working with several organizations that are helping us reverse those trends.
Once plentiful in the Eastern Pacific, four out of five Sea Turtle species have been reduced to only a few thousand today. The extinction of endangered Sea Turtles will have far-reaching consequences for our oceans, jeopardizing the very food chain we depend on for survival. This might be our last opportunity to prevent a completely avoidable man-made environmental disaster.
