Sunset World Group Reports Progress on the 2025 Sea Turtle Nesting Season

CANCÚN, Mexico, Sept. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to the massive arrival of female sea turtles during the 2024 season, the Cancun City Council, through its Ecology Department, requested the Cancún Hotel Association and each hotel expand the pens where sea turtle nests are placed.

It must be noted that one of the beaches that receives the most turtles is located in front of Sunset World Group's Sunset Royal Beach Resort. Therefore, the group recently shared a progress report on the 2025 sea turtle nesting season, reporting that this year, 63 females have nested on the Sunset Royal beach and laid 7,789 eggs to date.

It's worth mentioning that the Ecology Department constantly trains hotel security personnel to care for female sea turtles upon arrival, nesting, and departure. They are also responsible for collecting eggs, safely placing them in pens, and caring for baby turtles when they hatch and are ready to be released into the sea. Hotel security personnel learn and practice the following skills:

Beach preparation
Female handling specifications
Pen site selection and construction
Collection and stocking of clutches
Egg preservation techniques
Controlled hatchling release
Monitoring, counting, and statistical reporting

It's important to note that, for the protection of the hatchlings, their release must be done at night and without an audience.
