Several types of sea turtles are bordering on extinction.
Today, many people want to help them. In most places, it is against the law
to hunt sea turtles or to disturb their eggs.
The establishment of turtle camps in nesting areas has become
an important alternative in the conservation and protection of sea turtles.
The Asociación Sudcaliforniana de Protección al Medio Ambiente y la Tortuga Marina, A.C.,
known as ASUPMATOMA for short, began it's activities for the protection of the environment
and the sea turtle in 1980.
People interested in obtaining more information on ASUPMATOMA, our programs, the sea turtles, or any issue in regards to the environment in the area, please contact either of the following:
