The TAMAR Project is a Brazilian initiative that focuses on the preservation of endangered sea turtle species. This project was born out of a need to protect these marine creatures from extinction along the Brazilian coast. It's a collaborative effort between the government and non-governmental organizations, with support from national and international companies and institutions. The project also receives funding from the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, the federal government, Petrobras, and tourists who visit the project's facilities and purchase its merchandise.
Project Bases and Operations
The TAMAR Project operates 22 bases along the entire coast of Brazil. Of these, 18 are operational throughout the year, while the remaining 4 are active during the turtle nesting season. These bases are crucial for the project's conservation efforts, as they provide a platform for research, monitoring, and protection of the sea turtles and their habitats.
