Our mission is to protect and recover hawksbill turtles in the eastern Pacific, while improving the socio-economic conditions of coastal communities that rely on these resources for their livelihoods. We achieve these goals by sharing information, raising awareness, forming alliances, conducting research and initiating conservation, and by empowering local community groups with the tools and means to lead ecologically responsible and economically beneficial projects.

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
