A Word from the Founder
Sea Turtles entered my life purely by chance. Travelling to Costa Rica (because it sounded nice) to work as a volunteer with sea turtles (because I had never seen one) became the single most important and impacting decision of my life. 20 years later my life is debited to them, their survival, and their ecosystems.
Knowing that just 1 in every 1000 eggs will make it to adulthood, knowing that humans are solely responsible for the 80% decline in populations over the last 20 years, knowing that the extinction of sea turtle species will have devastating effects on our oceans. If there is ever a time when one person can make a huge difference, that time is now. Volunteers can actively save turtles from poaching, predation, climate change, bycatch, human consumption and plastic ingestion.
Choosing to volunteer with sea turtles is a commitment. Not just to yourselves and an endangered species. But to the planet.
