SOS Tartarugas works in Cape Verde protecting nesting loggerheads turtles (Caretta caretta) and their habitat. Cape Verde is the third most important nesting area for loggerheads in the world. Turtles are at risk from hunting for meat, stealing of eggs, removal of sand for building and unregulated tourism development. Our email is info@turtlesos.org.

Generous donation from St Ives Sub-Aqua Club

Andy Thomas from St Ives SAC (British dive club) visited the hatchery and handed us a cheque for £850. The money was raised by holding a ball in the summer. Andy & Elise, who have an apartment on Boa Vista, also adopted a baby turtle during their stay. That amount of money makes a huge difference to our project, so thanks a lot to everyone at the club, hope you have a great dive season.
