Our Marine Sanctuary is named Turtle Bay due to the many Turtles that live and breed here. Its a 28 hectare sea area that is protected by our conservation program. We thank the Municipality office in San Vicente for granting us a seaweed farm permit for the last 7 years. This has enabled us to protect the whole bay from illegal fisherman, which in turn has helped our main aim to protect and aid the fragile eco system living under the sea, corals and beautiful sea life. We have protected and released over 5000 baby turtles back into the sea.
Nov-April – You can see turtles laying eggs on our beaches.
Dec-May – Baby turtles hatching, the process takes 6-7 weeks.
See our own turtle videos on Youtube or our website media page.
We are planning to have our turtle sanctuary built in the near future, this is to protect and aid the survival of the marine turtle. If you would like to take part in this great cause by sponsoring a turtle.

Our Nature Reserve is 70 hectare. We have dedicated the last 7 years protecting and enhancing the beautiful natural surroundings. We are commited to protecting and promoting enviromental awareness. We have a corporate responsibility to help and educate our local fishing communities about this. You will not see birds in cages or monkeys tied up, we believe all animals should be free. We would love to share this unspoilt paradise with like minded people. Brief discriptions of our charitable activities with our neighbouring fishing villages are below.
