Its aim is to protect the populations of sea turtles that nest on the beaches. This program began in 2009 with the collaboration of local and international volunteers who participate in turtle monitoring for research purposes and in various protection actions.

The project is located in the Romelia Wildlife Refuge in Montezuma, on the Nicoya Peninsula, which is part of the Tempisque Protection Zone (ACT). This refuge is part of the Peninsula Biological Corridor, which also includes Cabo Blanco Natural Reserve, Curu Mixed Wildlife Refuge, Karen Morgensen Natural Reserve, and Nicolas Wessberg Natural Reserve.
