Tecolutla Turtle Preservation Project News

In February of 2011, Papa Tortuga visited the US and spoke to school children, sea turtle professionals, and the public about his 35 plus years of commitment to preserving kemp's ridley sea turtles.  Each presentation had its own highlights with numerous questions from all participants.  WGBH of Boston recorded his presentation for the New England Aquarium's lecture series.  

TTPP recently kicked off it's first social club event!  Board members and a host of friends and family attended the Media Theater's production of The Sound of Music. Those who attended were treated to an enjoyable matinee performance.  AJ Kiehner, son of board members Scott and Laura Kiehner is playing the role of Rolf for the run of the production.  After the performance, the group made its way over to the Kiehner's for a round of Papa Tortuga punch, and some discussion about the history and current efforts of Fernando Manzano.
