¡Viva la Tortuga!

As Andrew Revkin points out at the Dot Earth blog:

The documentary chronicles how communities that once depended on sea turtle poaching and other activities depleting the region’s rich natural resources are now testing a new economic model, one built around fishing with turtle conservation in mind and tourism focused on the area’s extraordinary marine life.

Following the lead of the fishermen who work Grupo Tortuguero and working with fishermen in the coastal communities where we work, we are protecting sea turtles and helping sustainable fishing cooperatives better manage marine resources.
