Description:We worked in the protective and conservation area of the Olive Ridley Turtle Lepidochelys olivacea in the beaches of Estero Verde, Sinaloa, Mexico (2004 season). The position in the beach does not affect survival. We found nests until the preferential nesting site located at the beginning of the second sandy berm in a zone free of vegetation; and the latter presented a slight increase in survival. Specimens handled for 2-5 hours survived less (R2=0,82). KEY WORDSIncidence of turtles, management, survival, protected area, conservation.
