Benefit - Arts for the Turtles On March 15th, from 11AM until 3PM, the ARTS FOR THE TURTLES second fundraiser fiesta will take place at Bahia del Sol resort in Nuevo Vallarta. Through AMA Mexico, or the Association for Mexican Environmental Unity, these events support the Nuevo Vallarta Sea Turtle Preserve.
Sea turtles are a keystone species, a true indicator of the health and vitality of sea life and the Banderas Bay future generations will know. The Campamento Tortugero protects over nine thousand nests annually in an effort to return us to sustainable turtle populations. It is the largest camp in Nayarit, and presents sunset hatchling "liberaciones", which you are also invited to attend. The Preserve depends on these events to support the ongoing protection of the threatened Olive Ridley species.
Numerous local artists will provide paintings, sculptures, baked goods, and artistry of various disciplines. There will be a live auction, a special luncheon by the Seahorse Restaurant, live music, and much more on the oceanfront terrace. Admission is free. Come and have a great time while saving the turtles.
