Costa Rica information, activities and news
“Grave Digger,” a Chevrolet, takes a nose dive in the Monster Trucks show at Costa Rica’s Ricardo Saprissa Stadium in Tibás last Thursday as part of a car-crunching three-day event, which organizers said sold out in advance. The eight total monsters also included “Batman,” “Superman,” “Blue Thunder” and “Toro Loco” (Mad Bull).
The U.S. Department of State again has certified Costa Rica to export shrimp to the United States. The country is one of 41 entitied so certified.
The certification means that Costa Rica has taken measures, mainly requring the use of sea turtle excluders, to reduce killing sea turtles by shrimp trawlers. The excluder lets the turtles swim out of the net if caught.
