Only a few years ago, most researchers thought hawksbills had been extirpated in the eastern Pacific Ocean, but the groundbreaking research and discoveries undertaken by ICAPO and its partners have changed the conservation outlook for this imperiled population. 
 
The goal of this website is to raise awareness regarding the plight of hawksbills in the eastern Pacific and inspire individuals and organizations to assist in conservation and recovery efforts.
 
We hope that after learning about the situation facing the population and conservation efforts on its behalf, you will consider joining the movement.
 

Together we can bring the perilous eastern Pacific hawksbill back from the brink of extinction.

Through close collaborations between coastal community members, scientists and policy makers we aim to bring hawksbill turtles back from the brink of extinction in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
