We offer two projects to volunteer with sea turtles in Costa Rica.

Osa In-Water Sea Turtle Conservation Project: The project is located at Playa Blanca on the Osa Peninsula in the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica,  home to a vast variety of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and insects.  Osa In-Water project works to better understand the dynamics of the local populations of hawksbill and green sea turtles, their genetic origin and in-water habitat use and threats. This project also runs a rescue and rehabilitation centre, as well as a mangrove reforestation effort. Studies are also carried out on the health of the off shore sea grass bed, which is an important feeding habitat for many species, especially sea turtles.
