Leatherback sea turtles represent the largest member of the sea turtle family. Recently, the number of annually nesting females has been estimated between 26,000 to 43,000, a strong decline from the 115,000 estimated in 1980. This dramatic decline have contributed to conservation efforts to increase and stabilize the leatherback sea turtles population, as the specie has a current status of being critically endangered.

Leatherback hatchlings make a perilous journey from their nest to the ocean, and are not even safe once they make it. Few survive to adulthood.

Costa Rica has a program to help save leatherback sea turtles from extinction, which start with creating safe nesting beach for females. It is possible for everybody to be part of that program. Here is what, as a volunteer, operations you may need to perform.

Throughout the program, volunteers monitor nesting leatherbacks, measure and tag them, note where the nest locations are and count the number of eggs in each nest. These data are used by researchers to determine what factors can influence the success of nesting.

Depending on the time of the year, eggs may have to be moved away from their nest to a hatchery. Volunteers may also have to protect the new hatched baby leatherback sea turtles, and potentially excavate nests to determine hatching success rates and rescue the late hatchers. Moreover, volunteers duties can also be to attach transmitters or data-loggers on adults, so their behavior and migration can be monitored or assist in maintaining the turtle hatchery.

Volunteering to help save leatherback sea turtles is not a 24 hours job. After your round of patrols on the beach, you can enjoy your time by a swim in the warm waters of Costa Rica, or by going for a snack at the beachfront restaurant. Plenty of activities are also available : sailboat cruise, a tour in the mangrove estuary, enjoying the beach and much more. Throughout your stay, you will probably come accross the numerous fascinating marine organisms. The adjacent areas is also rich in some of the most intriguing animal species and plants in the adjacent areas.

Leatherback sea turtles lay their eggs in nests on shore, where they are vulnerable to scavenging dogs and beach-strolling humans.

As a volunteer, you are most likely to stay at the beachfront field station, close to the beach. The cabin usually has air conditioning, full bathrooms, and you will be sharing your bedroom with other great volunteers or research staff. By volunteering in helping saving the leatherback sea turtles, you will meet lots of other great people, try something ultimately different, a unique rewarding experience of a lifetime.

1. Sun tan lotion or strictly sun block?
Looking for a vacation? Ask yourself: are you in an urgent need for some sun, or are you in the mood to wander around in the cafe of Europe. Before looking for a deal, make sure you know where you want to go, or at least where you do not want to go.

2. All inclusive resort or regular hotel room?

All inclusive have the advantage of letting you travel totally worry free (or as close as it can be). Accommodation, food, drinks, entertainment and much more are included in an all inclusive Caribbean package. On the other hand, all inclusive resorts are far from the city. Staying in a regular hotel room or bed and breakfast room will give you the advantages of being in town, therefore allowing you to be closer to the local people, restaurants and shopping areas. However you will have to look and pay for your food, drinks and transportation. If you are looking for a cheaper vacation, a good all inclusive deal can come up less expensive because you are guarantee a fixed cost for the whole trip.

3. Never without my computer!
Many airlines, travel agency and travel websites release on a daily or weekly basis news and updates about last minute deals. Register on their mailing list to have access to all the great deals and discounts on all inclusive Caribbean vacation packages.

4. Flexibility = Cheaper
Surprisingly, one day can have a huge impact on the price of a flight or deal. The same applies for an all inclusive Caribbean package which cost, when taken a few days earlier or a few days later, can vary a lot. Therefore, before booking, play with the departure and arrival dates. Check and find out if you could get a better deal by leaving on a different date.

5. Less tourists = Cheaper
Take advantage of the low season. Note : Low season in the Caribbeans is during Spring and Fall.

6. www.theweathernetwork.com
Before purchasing a last-minute deal, check the weather and advices to the travelers. Avoid bad weather surprises! It would be a shame to hastly purchase a last minute deal to the Caribbean and to realize they are expecting 2 weeks of heavy rain…

7. Check the expiration date of your passport. Many countries require you to have a valid passport with an expiring no less than 6 months after the data of travel.

8. Don’t forget your vaccins, medications and travel insurance! Being sick out of the country is pretty bad… Being sick out of the country with no travel insurance is worse!

Bon Voyage!
