Hotel staff and guest helped 60 newly hatched sea turtles to find their way to the ocean

Cozumel’s Ecology Department was in charge of monitoring the eggs from their appearance until their release

Cozumel, Mexico, August 26, 2011. - On July, during the morning walk of the security department of the resort, great news were discovered; a loggerhead turtle swam during the night and chose the hotel beach to host its nest.

Based on this wonderful news, a biologist from Cozumel’s Ecology Department visited the resort and inspected the area, calculating that in approximately 60 days a litter of loggerhead sea turtles would be born.

From his first visit, the biologist Mr. Hector Gonzalez was responsible of overseeing and monitoring the correct evolution of the eggs; on the other hand, the employees of Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa, were in charge of keeping the nests safe and free of any danger. The baby turtles continued growth and preparation for later be incorporated naturally into marine life. 

Finally, on August 24, guests and hotel staff supervised by the Ecology Department authorities could once again live the amazing experience of helping sea turtles to find their way to the ocean and begin their lives naturally.

This natural wonder had reinforced the commitment of the resort with the surrounding environment and the protection of flora and fauna.
