To the Congress of Costa Rica We have been following the migrations of leatherback turtles across the Pacific Ocean in The Great Turtle Race at www.greatturtlerace.com. It has come to our attention that members of the Congress have submitted bills that would remove land from Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas, restrict the size of the Park and even eliminate the land portion of the Park. These ideas threaten the future of the nesting beaches of Playa Grande, Playa Ventanas and Playa Langosta. We love leatherback turtles and strongly oppose such actions. We urge you to vote against any bill that would reduce the size of the Park or threaten its integrity! We also urge you to appropriate the money necessary to reimburse landowners for land that is now privately held within the Park. Such action is necessary not only for the turtles but also for Costa Rica’s reputation as a champion of biodiversity. Thank you, Signed James R. Spotila
