In fact, in May, the number of nests recorded for the month broke records. We hope that they continue to do so. Elsewhere in the Riviera Maya in the turtle camps patrolled by Flora, Fauna and Cultura volunteers, the report was 267 nests in May. This includes the turtle sanctuary at Xcacel-Xcacelito, which is celebrating 23 years of conservation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In Cozumel, 322 nests have been registered along the nesting beach known as San Martin and the first baby turtles of the season, 284 loggerhead hatchlings, have already entered the waves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember the turtle season rules<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can help protect our turtle visitors. Please follow the turtle rules on the beach and when snorkeling or diving.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Alert the security staff when you see a turtle on the beach at night<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Be very quiet and keep still, noise, lights and the movement of people disturb nesting sea turtles and cause them to leave the beach without laying eggs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Watch from a distance of 10 meters (33 feet)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do not attempt to touch the turtle or crowd her \u2028<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do not shine a torch or use the light on your mobile phone\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No flash photography<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No smoking<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Obey security staff when they give instructions\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Help us to keep our beaches and sea clean. Plastic straws, bags, packaging, fishing lines and nets and other garbage floating in the water are lethal to turtles and other marine life. Turtles are also under threat from microplastics.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When snorkeling or diving watch turtles from a distance, do not swim towards them and do not attempt to touch them\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Wear a t-shirt when snorkeling as protection from the sun instead of applying sun block. Sun products pollute the water and are harmful to marine life<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Turtles are protected by Mexican law, and it is illegal to disturb them, persecute or hunt them and consume their meat or eggs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mexican environmental agency SEMARNAT rules for turtle nesting season are designed to keep human contact with the creatures to a minimum. The rules stipulate that fragile baby turtles can only be released by trained personnel and not by hotel guests. Failure to comply with these measures can lead to resorts losing the right to have turtle nurseries on site or to be part of the turtle protection campaign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-july-2021"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
