    The system consists of a MAST live camera feed monitored 24/7 which alerts the Department of Environment (DOE) and when a turtle arrives at Turtle Beach. By doing this the DOE can dispatch people to ensure the turtle is safe from poachers…

    Results off effort:
    72 Turtle Nests with 80-100 eggs per nest. 0 poaching attempts during the nesting season.
    Turtle Beach received the 2019 Central Caribbean Marine Institutes People's Choice award for conservation efforts.
