Here's some information from their website: "This is your opportunity to participate in a critical conservation and research effort, and at the same time live on one of Costa Rica's most beautiful, pristine and least visited beaches. The sea turtle monitoring and conservation season at this site runs from June through December. Participants are invited to stay from 1 to 7 months. You will have the opportunity to work with trained professional biologists, wildlife conservationists and environmental professionals, as well as personnel from the Costa Rican Environment Ministry."

I was a little surprised to see Environmentally Friendly Hotels mentioned since it's probably a lesser known site compared to some hotel sites. Heh - it's the site I use though when I know where I'm going and want to decide where to stay - I'd rather spend my money somewhere that cares about the environment. Thanks again for a good read!
