La Chispa reports on the return of the sea turtle release program in Campeche, one of the most anticipated environmental and family-friendly activities of the season. The state is preparing to host the Mi Carey campaign, an initiative that invites the public to participate in protecting sea turtles on several beaches across Campeche.
Through this schedule of ecological activities, the campaign aims to bring families closer to marine conservation by promoting environmental education and responsible participation during one of the most important stages in the life cycle of these species.

- San Lorenzo: August 3, 6, 17, 20, and 25
The invitation is open to anyone interested in experiencing a close encounter with nature by witnessing hatchling sea turtles make their journey back to the ocean after emerging from their nests. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about marine species conservation and the work being carried out to protect them in the region.
