<title>Turtle release (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A number of years ago we were sitting at a palapa at Villa del Sol (now known as The Thompson) and I noticed some excitement a couple of palapa’s  away. I went to investigate, and along with others, witnessed  a turtle hatching. It was amazing to watch. Hotel staff attended very quickly and kept everyone back a safe distance to protect the nest. So cool.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We saw the signs of a turtle haul out two days ago, no telling if there was a nest.  </p>
<p>It was the first one we have seen in over a month on la Ropa, and we are out there every morning, very early.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>It seems there have been a turtle release everyweek at playa LaRopa since mid December at least. People in charge are wearing zihua city shirts. They operate just before sunset. I was close by on December 13th (a Tuesday). They had more than a hundred turtles in their baskets. I saw another one the 19th (a Monday) and one last week, I can’t remember the day.<br />
According to a trinket vendor we met last Tuesday at El Manglar, this week was supposed to be on Wednesday… no pattern. <br />
If somebody knows where to find a schedule on the internet, please post the info.</p>
</blockquote><p>There is no schedule, and there will be fewer and fewer hatchings over the next 2 months. I haven't seen any new turtle nests in about a month. Though they can mate and nest all year round, this is a slow time of year for them, and it's getting slower. You were fortunate to have seen the hatchings that you saw.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Are there more than 2 turtle releases in the Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo area? Ayoticalli, and Robrtos in Troncones?</p>
</blockquote><p>Turtles are released all the time in Ixtapa by the hotels. But are rarely advertised.</p>
