Turtle protection volunteer groups in Puerto Rico assist and collaborate to protect leatherback turtles and their nests. They also teach locals, students and tourists about the importance of protecting these turtles. These groups are licensed by the Puerto Rico Department of Natural Resources and require training to interact with the turtles which are an endangered species.
