Protection of turtle eggs in Juan Venado Island - Nicaragua
The Juan Venado Island is located just off the coast in front of the town Las Peñitas on the Pacific Ocean.
There are no houses or people living on the island but every day some volunteers are looking after the Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas) and Leatherback Sea Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) that come to lay their eggs. The eggs collected are kept in bags for around 50 days until they hatch. Each new born turtle will be released in to the Pacific Ocean at the end of the day to avoid predators.
