In-Water Sea Turtle Sighting 4+

Sea Turtle Conservancy’s (STC) In-Water Sea Turtle Sighting lets you add information about turtles you spot while out on the water. By doing this, you can help the researchers from STC in their conservation efforts. You will also have a little diary of the different sea turtles you have spotted.

Sea turtles are ancient creatures and are among the most important indicators of the health of the world’s marine and coastal ecosystems. Whether sea turtles ultimately vanish from the planet or whether they remain a wild and thriving part of the natural world will speak volumes about both the general health of the planet and the ability of humans to sustainably coexist with the diversity of life on Earth.

STC, founded in 1959 by world-renowned sea turtle expert Dr. Archie Carr, is the world’s oldest sea turtle research and conservation group. STC works to conserve and recover sea turtle populations through research, education, training of biologists, advocacy, and protection of the natural habitats upon which they depend.
