Create a "turtle hotline" to ensure fair distribution of turtle watching tours on Boavista, an island in Cape Verde, and minimize human disturbance, which could be damaging to turtle nesting sites. Coordinate a series of workshops and discussions with all stakeholders involved to ensure acceptance and to build a sustainable financing mechanism based on a user fee for the turtle hotline. Mark quad trails to minimize the environmental impact of turtle watching on nesting sites, coastal wetlands and other natural areas.
