Make your next vacation look (and do) good for sea turtles and the environment by joining one of our new 2016 SWIM destination eco tour programs! The Serving the World’s Imperiled Marine life (SWIM) program gives you the opportunity to experience hands on sea turtle research, rehabilitation, and conservation efforts while experiencing a unique vacation to some of the world’s most unique marine ecosystems. 

LMC biologists are offering a unique experience for active adults looking to take a more active role in marine conservation. Join us September 25 - October 2, 2016 and experience a vacation that gives back! On this excursion, you will be assisting on one of the most important Hawksbill nesting beaches in central America conducting in-water transects, evening nesting surveys, excavations, and mangrove restoration. You'll spend your off-time from your conservation efforts exploring nearby volnaoes, natural hot springs and day hikes in pristine coastal rainforest.
