Cabo Verde presents turtle observation center feasibility study
Cabo Verde's Tourism Institute unveils a study on a sustainable turtle observation visitor center in São Pedro, São Vicente, promoting coastal conservation and eco-tourism.
On 25 March 2026, the Cabo Verde Tourism Institute (ITCV) presented a feasibility study for a visitor center dedicated to sea turtle observation in São Pedro, on the island of São Vicente. The study assesses conditions to develop a sustainable center that supports both tourism and environmental protection of the coastal area. Communities have long practiced turtle observation as an eco-tourism activity, and this initiative aims to strengthen its sustainability and competitiveness. The center would provide infrastructure to educate visitors about marine conservation while generating local income. The project aligns with broader efforts to protect coastal ecosystems threatened by plastic pollution and irregular development.
