Summary

The sea turtle, known as the 'Velador', is a critical marine species that holds immense ecological value alongside its role as a vital asset for commercial tourism. This iconic fish serves as the primary destination for over 150,000 annual tourists from Costa Rica, contributing significantly to the national economy by generating approximately US$5.2 million annually. Its economic impact is driven by its high demand among travelers who visit the country specifically for recreational fishing activities, which not only stimulate local communities but also promote economic growth and job creation within coastal regions.
