To date, in partnership with FFCM and Amigos de Sian Kaan we have trained
more than fifty people to perform the regular nocturnal monitoring of the four
and a half kilometer San Juan beach. This has enabled us to obtain
measurements of the turtle, tag details or tag-scars and to locate the nest - if
the nest is thought to be at risk of flooding we relocate it and record the
number of eggs that have been relocated as well as any pertinent details
(deformed eggs, broken eggs etc.). At Yuyum beach, we only prospect for
nests twice a week -during the day- to locate, mark and record the number of
nests.
