Abstract
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.

The atmosphere of the nesting beaches and the environment in the halls of incubation, it is very important to study the biology of reproduction and nesting (Richardson, 2000); a continuous nesting beaches, monitoring as well as an effective monitoring, will provide important information for the effectiveness of hatching in the nests is greater
The preferred nesting site of the turtle, olive Ridley on the beach (Fig. 3) was established and its effect on survival in neonates was analyzed; Table 1 shows the number of eggs, neonates living and survival percentage results
