Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga will use its SWOT grant to assist with the management of olive ridley arribada sites and to operate the regional rescue and rehabilitation center, which provides medical care and facilities for injured and sick turtles in the state of Oaxaca.

Donations from the Mast family, Russell Mittermeier (Re:wild), and Gail Evenari (Maiden Voyage Productions) supported this important initiative in Mexico.
