Costa Cetacea

Hike, kayak, swim, snorkel, freedive, wade, crawl, jump, climb, and scamper, with an expert guide through some of Costa Rica´s most scenic and wild areas and take some pictures. A picture says a thousand words. Put the picture on a map with a date and repeat regularly. Then you have data about a place that shows visible changes happening to say, your favorite river, reef or forest grove. Then if contamination changes the alga or makes a species of fish or animal disappear, we can show what was there before and when it changed and try to stop it at the source.

Costa Rica Biomonitor is a new way for you to help us keep watch on our precious ecosystems. We are starting our efforts focusing on some fantastic forest, aquatic and marine areas. We try to show how these places are all connected.

Your naturalist guide team leaders will show you how to work the camera, GPS, and even teach you to swim, kayak, and use a dive mask or more if needed for your project. They will educate you about the ecosystem you are biomonitoring and show you how to document the localnative, useful and medicinal plants, animals and insects. A portion of the proceeds will go to help local kids learn about and start biomonitoring.

We have a range of options available to suite you. From private trips to student groups we can set you up with some Biomonitoring on your itinerary. Do you have a new location you think we should begin biomonitoring? Let us know and perhaps we can develop a program. Become a Costa Rica BioMonitor and be part of the solution.
