🐢🌊 Quiet Wins on Our Beaches 🌊🐢
Before most people had their morning coffee, 62 baby sea turtles were rescued at Flamingos Beach earlier this week. A local noticed movement in the sand, reported it, and Mexican Navy personnel responded quickly. The hatchlings were safely transferred to Puerto Vallarta’s El Holy incubation nursery, where they’re now under protected care.
Moments like this don’t always look dramatic. The beach looks the same. But those first minutes after hatching are the most dangerous. Bright lights, foot traffic, birds, even well-meaning people can unknowingly put hatchlings at risk. This is a good reminder that living here means we’re sharing the coastline, not just enjoying it.
If you ever spot hatchlings or a nest emergency, the best help is usually to give space, keep pets and lights away, and report it rather than intervene. The Navy’s local number is 322-216-6618, and for sea emergencies 800 MARINA1.
These small, quiet efforts are part of what makes coastal life here special — locals and expats noticing, caring, and doing the right thing.
Have you ever seen turtle hatchlings on our beaches, or been part of a release or rescue here in PV? 🐢💬
