Ocean Helper May Update

This month we launched our Clean Oceans Campaign Facebook Group and we are so pleased with the response and support we have received on there. A VIP Group for Clean Oceans Campaign members, featuring awesome, free, fun content including videos, guest contributions and exclusive giveaways! As well as the latest news, views and tips on reducing single use plastics and keeping the Oceans Clean. You will also be able to find information and volunteers for local beach cleans and environmental projects.

Billion Baby Turtles

Sea Turtle Hatchling

Did you know that the Billion Baby Turtle Project offer you the opportunity to help researchers catch green and hawksbill sea turtles to study and release in Costa Rica?! You'll also participate in mangrove research and visit an organic farm that grows and makes chocolate! You can register and find out more here: http://www.seeturtles.org/costa-rica-green-turtle-research/

They have also announced the launch of a new project called Divers For Turtles! For this project they will be working with the diving industry to offer divers ways to help support sea turtle conservation, both in and out of the water. If you are interested, then join their Facebook group here.

All the money that is raised by this organisation goes to local groups and teams who patrol important nesting beaches, keeping poachers and predators away from the turtles and their hatchlings, as well as helping ensure that the new born sea turtle hatchlings safely make their way to ocean.

This months efforts and donation mean that the funds we have raised here at Ocean Helper have helped to saved over 8,100 sea t urtle hatchlings in total!
