Every day, I can  have a chance to make a difference in the lives of sea turtles and their future population. Take to local beaches and participate in clean-up efforts, removing debris that can ensnare young hatchlings making their way to the sea. I'll help the local partners as they survey nesting sites and make sure they're primed for mother sea turtles when they're ready to nest! A big part of your service is raising community awareness of the challenges facing these animals in order to improve conservation efforts. Make signs that notify community members of protected nesting areas, and help educate local children on the importance of keeping the coast clean in order to preserve native habitat.

This Spring Break, I'll discover how events as global as climate change and as local as trash buildup and boating collisions affect the habitat of native wildlife, particularly for sea turtles. Listen as local speakers and conservationists describe their strategies for protecting the turtles and their hatchlings. Take some time to relax and celebrate the traditional Costa Rican Caribbean way—this is Spring Break, after all! From Calypso dance class to enjoying Afro-caribbean influenced dishes, i'll have experiences that make me feel like a local.

Costa Rica is a beautiful place and I always wanted to visit and now i'll have an great reason to go. I love turtles and helping the world stay nice and clean, so this will be a wonderful adventure!!
