The remaining camps are three of them in Playa Azul, one more in El Habillal and one in Solera de Agua, which have already been reviewed and water was found to drag trash to them in addition to damaging some of their infrastructure as meshes. Embargo in these nests were not damaged.

With regard to the release of tortoise pups, he noted that they are done on time, since these specimens cannot be retained and only have 48 hours for them to reach the sea.

For this reason, the Turtle Expo will be carried out normally and is expected to start on October 25th and conclude on the 27th of the same month.
For this event, mass vibrations are planned with special spaces for people with disabilities and older adults.
The nest population pointed out that the camps are estimated to have between 4000 and 6 nests with about 900 thousand eggs.
