We are pleased to introduce\u00a0Alexa<\/a>, the Hawksbill turtle to our colleagues and fellow friends of the sea. Alexa is named for Alex Gaos, co-founder of ICAPO, the Eastern Pacific Hawksbill Initiative.<\/p>\n

Alex and Ingrid Ya\u00f1ez have linked many people in Central America in their efforts to discover, understand, and protect the Hawksbill populations of the Eastern Pacific.<\/p>\n

Alexa arrived on the beach at the La Flor Wildlife Refuge in southern Nicaragua on the night of August 8th. After she nested, Paso Pacifico rangers outfitted Alexa with a satellite transmitter to track her movements and share information about her migratory patterns and habitat with the ICAPO network.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Led by Salvador Sanchez and our director of conservation science, Dr. Kim Williams-Guillen, our rangers are professionals who take pride and care in their work monitoring Nicaragua’s marine wildlife and their habitat.<\/p>\n

In addition to Alex Gaos of ICAPO, we’d also like to thank Randall Arauz of PRETOMA, Cynthia Lagueux of the Wildlife Conservation Society, and Jeff Seminoff of NOAA and WWF, all of whom have shared their expertise. Without their technical assistance, our sea turtle tracking project would not be possible.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone involved in efforts to promote the protection of the mysterious and beautiful Hawksbill.<\/p>\n
