Museo Comunitario de la Tortuga Marina

This project is still growing, but that doesn't make it any less appealing. It's a healthy activity that raises local environmental awareness, something we should all participate in. The location is very easy to find and reach, just 200 meters from the main road if you're traveling by public transport, or you can drive right up to the door in your own vehicle. The appointment was at 10:00 AM with prior reservation. The talk started at 10:30 AM, explaining the project and the work being done. Afterward, you're invited on a tour of the museum, where they show you the different endemic species and, finally, provide information about the turtles. At the end of the tour, you're invited outside to participate in a turtle release. They explain the procedure and the necessary precautions. Each visitor is given a baby turtle, and then they head to the beach to release them. The staff is always very friendly and professional—not bad at all for a project still under construction and run by members of the community. If you have the opportunity and the luck to coincide with the release season, it's an activity you'll definitely want to do.

A major project to rescue and conserve sea turtles in Mazatán, Chiapas. A great effort by the Emiliano Zapata community, located within La Encrucijada Natural Park.

Over the past year, I've been very pleased with how it has progressed. My family and I have gone to release turtles, and we've really enjoyed the organization and the good use they're making of social media to continue improving the place.
