"Today, TAMAR has 22 research stations and monitors 1100 km of beaches in nine Brazilian states. The organization employs approximately
1200 people, 85% of whom are from the coastal communities where TAMAR works. The national headquarters of both TAMAR and Fundação
Pró-TAMAR are located in the fishing village of Praia do Forte. The TAMAR Research Station in Praia do Forte was established in 1982. The Visitor Center (Fig. 11.1), built a few years later, started small with a few tanks showing marine wildlife. The village is approximately 80 km north of Salvador, Bahia’s state capital, and is home to about 2000 residents (Mata de São João, 2004). The Visitor Center is the busiest and the most profitable of TAMAR’s visitor centres. Most of the revenue from the Visitor Center comes from the TAMAR store, which sells many items made by local cooperatives. More broadly, the Visitor Center is one of the most popular tourism destinations in all of Brazil. During the 2005/6 nesting season, approximately 600,000 people visited the Center (TAMAR, 2006)" (STRONZA; DURHAM, 2008).
