15. ARCAS Sea Turtle Conservation – Hawaii

Description: In 1993, ARCAS initiated its conservation activities in the Hawaii area, primarily as a response to threats to leatherback and olive ridley turtle populations by local egg collectors. Despite their endangered status, virtually all turtle nests are harvested and the eggs sold to restaurants or markets. Turtle eggs are popular in Guatemala as an aphrodisiac, clearly not a basic need given a population growth rate of nearly 3%. In this program, ARCAS solicits donations of turtle eggs from local collectors and then reburies the eggs in protected hatcheries. After an incubation period of roughly 45 days, the hatchlings are released into the sea.

Activities: During the egg-laying season (June-October), volunteers spend nights walking the beach in search of nesting turtles. Once found, they collect the eggs and bury them in the hatchery. Once the eggs begin hatching (mid-July – December), volunteers assist in releasing the hatchlings and excavating the nests to determine the hatchlings’ success rate.

Minimum: 2/3 weeks

Spanish: Intermediate

Schedule: Flexible

Location: Hawaii is located 8 kilometers east of Monterrico, on the west coast of Guatemala. Volunteers buy and cook their own food.
