Hawksbill Hope, Inc was founded in 2009 to aid in the conservation of Belize’s natural resources by providing support to monitoring nesting beaches and collecting data on endangered hawksbill sea turtles.
Hawksbill Hope, through individual contributions and grant funding, is able to satellite tag marine sea turtles during the nesting season in Belize. Transmissions from each of the deployed tags can be seen at seaturtle.org
In 2017, the mission of Hawksbill Hope was modified to broaden its impact on the Gales Point community. To assist every high school aged child in Gales Point to make sure that an opportunity at education is never out of reach
