On the beach in Praia do Forte

Projeto TAMAR-IBAMA is a national sea turtle conservation and research program in Brazil. At Praia do Forte they rescue turtle nests and help return baby turtles to the sea.	They have a small aquarian/outdoor museum that explains their program along with many turtles, sharks, and other sea life.


These turtles get huge!!	But they start off really tiny! Here are some tiny turtles eating lunch
