Welcome to our organization dedicated to the protection and conservation of sea turtles and their habitats! Our mission is to raise awareness about the threats facing sea turtles, promote sustainable practices that can help protect these species, and support efforts to rehabilitate and protect sea turtles around the world.

Our website is a hub of information about sea turtles, including their life cycle, behavior, and the challenges they face in the wild. You can learn about our current conservation efforts, find resources for how you can get involved, shop and support our mission through donations or adoptions.

Thank you for visiting our site and for your support of our sea turtle conservation efforts. Together, we can make a difference in the fight to protect these amazing species and their fragile ecosystems.

Simple Steps That Will Make a Big Difference:

Support Conservation Efforts

Many organizations work to protect sea turtles and their habitats. By supporting these organizations through donations or volunteering, you can help fund important conservation efforts and promote awareness about the challenges facing sea turtles.

Participate in Beach Cleanups

Litter and debris can pose a serious threat to sea turtles and their habitats. By participating in beach cleanups and properly disposing of any litter you find, you can help keep our oceans and beaches clean and safe for sea turtles and other marine life.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

Plastics are a major threat to sea turtles, as they can mistake plastic bags, straws, and other debris for food. By practicing the 3 R’s, you can do your part to help reduce the amount of plastic in our oceans and protect sea turtles and other marine life.

Consume Sustainable Seafood

Many global fishing practices can harm sea turtles and other marine life. By choosing sustainably caught seafood, you can support responsible fishing practices that help protect sea turtles and their habitats.
