Ua ʻike mua ʻia kēia pou ma ka pūnaewele o Playa Viva. ʻO Playa Viva he hoaaloha o ke kālā i loko o The Ocean Foundation a alakaʻi ʻia e David Leventhal.

I hoʻokahi pule aku nei, ua laki au i ka hele pū ʻana me nā lālā o ka hale honu La Tortuga Viva ma kekahi o kā lākou mākaʻikaʻi pō o kahakai kokoke i Playa Viva a ma waho. Huli lākou i nā pūnana honu kai i mea e pale ai i nā hua mai nā poachers a me nā mea ʻaihue ma o ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana iā lākou i ko lākou kahu hānai no ka mālama ʻana a hiki i ka wā e ʻō ai a hoʻokuʻu ʻia.

He mea hoihoi loa ia i ka ike maka mua i ka hana a keia mau mea manawalea a me ka hoomaopopo pono i ka lakou hana i kela a me keia po a me ke kakahiaka nui (mai ka hora 10 o ke ahiahi a hiki i ke aumoe a hoʻomaka kekahi ma ka hola 4) ʻO nā hōkū ma luna o ka moana. He mea kupaianaha i ko mākou lele ʻana ma luna o ke kaʻa ʻāina āpau o ka hui. Ua wehewehe ʻo ʻElia, ke poʻo o Tortuga Viva a me koʻu alakaʻi no ka pō, pehea e ʻimi ai i nā ala honu a me nā pūnana. ʻAʻole naʻe mākou pōmaikaʻi: ua loaʻa iā mākou ʻelua pūnana, akā naʻe, ua hahau nā poʻe ʻaihue kanaka iā mākou a ua pau nā hua. Ua ʻike pū mākou i 3 mau honu make ma nā wahi like ʻole ma kahakai, ʻo ka mea paha i poho i ke kai e nā ʻupena o nā lawaiʻa lawaiʻa.

ʻAʻole i nalowale nā ​​mea a pau, laki loa mākou no ka mea, i ko mākou hoʻi ʻana i ka pā hale hānai i ke aumoe, e ʻō ana ka pūnana, a ʻike maoli au i nā keiki honu e piʻi ana i ke one! Ua hoʻomaka mālie ʻo ʻElia e hoʻoneʻe i ke one ma kahi ʻaoʻao a hōʻiliʻili maikaʻi i nā lima o nā honu pēpē ʻo Olive Ridley no ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ke kai.

I hoʻokahi pule ma hope mai, i ka hōʻea ʻana aku o nā mea manawaleʻa WWOOF i Playa Viva no ka hana ma 6:30 am, ua haʻi ʻia mākou e ka hui Playa Viva he honu ma kahakai ma mua pono o ka hōkele. Holo mākou i ka pell-mell i lalo i ke one, e ʻimi ana i kā mākou mau pahu kiʻi, makaʻu i ka nalo ʻana i ka ʻike; Laki iā mākou ʻaʻole wikiwiki ka neʻe ʻana o ka honu, no laila ua hiki iā mākou ke nānā iā ia e hoʻi hou ana i ke kai. He honu nui loa ia (ma kahi o 3-4 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi) a ua laki maoli mākou no ka mea he kakaikahi loa ka honu ʻEleʻele, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Prieta" e nā kamaʻāina (chelonia agassizii).

Aia nā mea manawaleʻa hoʻāno honu ma ka lima, e kali ana iā ia e hoʻi i kai ma mua o ka pale ʻana i kāna mau hua ma ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana iā lākou mai nā mea ʻaihue i loko o ka hale kapu. He mea hauʻoli loa ka ʻike ʻana aku i nā ʻanuʻu āna i hana ai e piʻi mai ana i kahakai, nā pūnana hoʻopunipuni ʻelua āna i hana ai (me he mea lā he ʻano pale kūlohelohe ia i nā mea ʻaihue) a me kāna mau ala e iho ana. ʻO ka poʻe manawaleʻa ma laila e ʻimi mālie i ke one me kahi lāʻau lōʻihi, e hoʻāʻo ana e ʻimi i ka pūnana maoli, akā hopohopo lākou e hōʻino paha lākou i nā hua. Hoʻi kekahi i ke kaona e kiʻi i ʻelua mau lālā hou o Tortuga Viva a ʻo kekahi e noho ma ʻaneʻi no ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ka wahi a kiaʻi i ka pūnana mai ka hiki ke hoʻopilikia ʻia. Ua wehewehe ʻo ia ʻoiai ua hana lākou i ka mākaʻi no hoʻokahi makahiki, ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā lākou kahi pūnana Prieta ma mua. I ka hiki ʻana mai o nā lālā kiaʻi nui ʻo Elias lāua ʻo Hector, ua ʻike pono lākou i kahi e nānā ai, a hoʻomaka lākou e ʻeli. He lōʻihi a lōʻihi nā lima ʻo Hector, akā ʻeli ʻo ia i lalo a hiki i kona hilinaʻi ʻana i loko o ka lua ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hua. Hoʻomaka ʻo ia e lawe mālie iā lākou, ʻelua a ʻekolu paha i ka manawa; ua poepoe a like me ka nui o na pōpō kolepa nui. 81 mau hua a pau!

I kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā lākou kahi anaina o nā mea manawaleʻa WWOOF āpau, kahi limahana o Playa Viva nāna i lawe i lalo i kahi koʻi e kōkua inā pono, a me kekahi mau malihini Playa Viva. Hoʻokomo ʻia nā hua i loko o ʻelua mau ʻeke a lawe ʻia i ka hale honu, a hahai mākou iā lākou e nānā i ke koena o ke kaʻina hana o ka mālama ʻana i nā hua no ka hoʻoulu ʻana. I ka wā i kanu pono ʻia ai nā hua i loko o kā lākou pūnana hou i hana ʻia e ke kanaka he 65 knm hohonu, ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia mākou i Playa Viva.

Pilikia loa ka honu ʻEleʻele; Laki iā ia ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea manawaleʻa hopohopo e mālama i kāna mau hua, a he laki nō mākou i ka ʻike ʻana i kahi ʻano ʻano kakaʻikahi a kokoke e pau.

E pili ana i nā Hoa o La Tortuga Viva: Ma ke kihi hikina hikina o Playa Viva, kahi hōkele hale kūʻai hoʻomau, kahi limahana manawaleʻa āpau, i hui pū ʻia me nā lālā o ke kaiāulu kūloko o Juluchuca, ua hoʻokumu i kahi honu. He poʻe lawaiʻa kēia a me ka poʻe mahiʻai i ʻike i ka pōʻino i hana ʻia i ka heluna honu kūloko a ua hoʻoholo lākou e hoʻololi. Ua lawe kēia hui i ka inoa ʻo "La Tortuga Viva" a i ʻole "The Living Turtle" a loaʻa iā ia ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana mai ke Keʻena ʻOihana Mekiko no ka Hoʻomalu ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano Endangered. No ka hāʻawi ʻana e ʻoluʻolu e kaomi ma aneʻi.
