2010 Turtle Season

A big hola from Pacific Guatemala!

As the project has not officially been operating this season we have relied on a few dedicated volunteers to take the reins for us... Leon (UK) stayed for 4 months and worked with Bernado (the hatchery manager) in La Barrona. Luke and Mel (Oz) then joined Leon for his final month, and between the three of them they have burried a tonne of eggs in the hatchery. Akazul want to say a massive thankyou to the three of them as their contribution to the community, hatchery and turtles has been exceptional.
