On January 24th, Vast Infraestrutura promoted the 2024 Sea Turtle Hatchling Walk, an initiative that is part of the Marine Turtle Monitoring Program, developed by Vast and other companies present at Porto do Açu.
The event brought together approximately 65 people, including Vast employees and partners, at Reserva Caruara, with a program that included, in addition to the walk, a visit to the program’s base, where the main information about loggerhead turtles (caretta-caretta), their reproductive cycle, and the monitoring and conservation actions for these animals were presented.
Since 2008, the program has been operating in the region with the aim of aligning the development of the Açu Complex with biodiversity conservation, monitoring 62km of beach from Pontal de Atafona in São João da Barra to Barra do Furado in Campos dos Goytacazes. Altogether, the program has already released over 1 million hatchlings into the sea.
