Join a Morning Turtle Release

Your Q70/$10 reserves your place at a morning turtle release in El Paredón, Guatemala — and goes straight to the hatchery program run with CONAP (the National Council of Protected Areas).

Every season, thousands of Olive Ridley (Parlama) turtle eggs are collected in El Paredón. By law, egg collectors must donate 20% of each nest to hatcheries — the rest is usually sold. Programs like this one buy the remaining eggs to keep them off the market, while giving local families fair income. Your Q70 helps fund that work.

After donating, please screenshot your confirmation and show it at The Driftwood Surfer to confirm your spot at the next release.

Transparency note: funds are received in the U.S. personal account of Santiago Arenas, legal representative of The Driftwood Surfer, and allocated 100% to the El Paredón hatchery project.

Únete a una liberación matutina de tortugas

Tu aporte de Q70/$10 reserva tu lugar en una liberación matutina de tortugas en El Paredón, Guatemala — y va directo al programa del tortugario que trabaja junto a CONAP.

Cada temporada, miles de huevos de tortuga Parlama (Olive Ridley) son recolectados en El Paredón. Por ley, los recolectores deben donar el 20% de cada nido a los criaderos — el resto suele venderse. Programas como este compran los huevos restantes para evitar que lleguen al mercado, dándole a la vez un ingreso digno a las familias locales. Tu Q70 ayuda a financiar ese trabajo.

Después de donar, por favor toma captura de tu confirmación y muéstrala en The Driftwood Surfer para confirmar tu cupo en la próxima liberación.

Nota de transparencia: los fondos se reciben en la cuenta personal en EE. UU. de Santiago Arenas, representante legal de The Driftwood Surfer, y se destinan 100% al proyecto del tortugario en El Paredón.
