Turtle Sanctuary at Gran Pacifica

Conservation Efforts by Gran Pacifica Resort

Several organizations, such as the Gran Pacifica Beach & Golf Resort with Joel Nagel and Mike Cobb as two of their one of the representatives, the GP Rotary Club, and local communities, have worked tirelessly to protect the turtles. They make every effort to prevent trash from entering the ocean, although they acknowledge the challenge of controlling it entirely. Furthermore, they actively engage in the protection, rescue, and release of turtles.

Gran Pacifica Resort’s impact extends beyond the turtle conservation; it has also positively influenced the local community. Due to economic hardships, many people living in the Gran Pacifica area used to travel long distances to sell eggs. However, the company helps with this too, the people in the community reach out to a member of the team or Alejandro in order to sell it to them, so that they take the eggs back to the sanctuary. This benefits both the community members and the turtles. This mutually beneficial scenario helps people earn money and provide for their families, all while contributing to the conservation of sea turtles.
