Turtle nesting season in Puerto Vallarta arrivals have fallen 40 percent due to climate change and La Niña, with early nests recorded since May 1 and hopes for more growth later this year.
Carlos Hernández, president of Nakawe AC, announced a sharp decline in turtle arrivals along the Mexican Central Pacific. His organization links three turtle camps in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, and Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit. Hernández said climate change and the La Niña phenomenon cut visits by nesting turtles by an average of 40 percent each year . . .
