LOC does a huge amount of work conserving turtles and Watamu’s marine environment. They run a Bycatch Release Program which works with the local fishermen who call them in case they catch a turtle or find an injured turtle in their nets. LOC bring the turtle back to their rehabilitation centre if they need medical assistance or help, and if and when they are healthy they are released back into the wild. You can visit their centre to learn more about turtles and what you can do to help our marine environment and possibly see turtles in their rehab centre. Get in touch if you would like to know more and find out if you can watch a turtle being released back into the ocean or if any nests are due to hatch along the beach.

Importantissimo progetto di conservazione e protezione delle tartarughe marine presenti in Kenya. Possibilità di visitare il loro centro e vedere come curano eventuali tartarughe ferite, per poi liberarle. Nel periodo tra marzo e giugno alcune tartarughe nidificano proprio sulle spiagge di Watamu (la schiusa avviene dopo circa 60gg)
