Continuing the tradition, the inauguration of the sea turtle nesting featured a Mayan ritual held at the beach of Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal.<\/h6>\n

Each season the team patrols the beaches every night from April to September, in order to protect the nests. Three types of nests are set, the in-situ, the relocated and corral (protected area).

\u2022 Do not throw garbage into the sea, especially plastic bags, turtles can easily mistake them for food.
\n\u2022 Keep beaches clean – please do not leave trash on the beaches, and if you feel inspired, please remove trash left by others.
\n\u2022 Do not purchase or consume turtle eggs or products derived from sea turtles.
\n\u2022 Denounce any act that attempts against sea turtles.
\n\u2022 Do not bother the turtles or other animals.
\n\u2022 During nighttime, avoid unnecessary lighting (such as flashlights and camera flashes. The moon should be the only light present, and will guide the hatchlings to the sea.<\/p>\n
