Los Grupos Ecologistas de Nayarit A.C

Los Grupos Ecologistas de Nayarit A.C have been working since 1993 to protect the species of marine turtle that visit Mexico. Our work is concentrated to the state of Nayarit but we run educational events for vistors to the area from across Mexico and from abroad.

We patrol three beaches: El Naranjo, Rincon de Guayabitos and Punta Raza in the Bahia de Jaltemba. The main species we work with is the Olive Ridley.
