🌊🐢 This year’s program, Costas Seguras República Dominicana 2026, is dedicated to the majestic Leatherback Sea Turtle, one of the most ancient and
extraordinary marine species on the planet. 💙
The Leatherback finds refuge and nests along important areas of our coastline, including Miches and Playa Encuentro, reminding us of the importance of protecting our oceans and coastal ecosystems.
The Leatherback Turtle has been chosen as the program’s symbolic and protected species, representing our commitment to safer coasts and healthier oceans.
Because protecting the ocean also means protecting the species that call our coasts home.
