THE SEA TURTLE ARRIBADA

Witness a miracle of nature — an arribada or mass nesting — when 1000s of turtles return to their birthplace to lay eggs on the beaches of Oaxaca.  This conservation success story tells the tale of saving olive ridley sea turtles in Mexico through a collective effort of local partners, indigenous communities, Mexico’s National Park Service and the ocean conservation group WILDCOAST . 

Once on the brink of extinction, millions of olive ridley sea turtles now hatch along Oaxaca’s protected shoreline every year.
