Sea Turtle Conservancy

Introduction: The Sea Turtle Conservancy is the oldest sea turtle research and conservation organization in the world. The group was founded in Florida in 1959 by Dr. Archie Carr, the man widely recognized around the world as the leading authority on sea turtles. Over the last 60 years, STC’s work helped spawn a global movement to protect sea turtles and developed successful models for studying and protecting sea turtles that are now in use around the world. Most importantly, STC, through its many successful projects, has proved that sea turtles can be saved. It takes a great commitment of time, expertise, resolve and funding to achieve lasting results, but sea turtle conservation does work. Mission: STC’s mission is to protect sea turtles and associated marine wildlife worldwide, with an emphasis on the Southeast U.S. and the Wider Caribbean. To achieve its mission, STC uses research, habitat protection, public education, community outreach, networking and advocacy as its basic tools. The group conducts ongoing programs in Florida, Costa Rica, Panama, Bermuda, and the Eastern Caribbean. Organizational Goals and Objectives— STC focuses its efforts in three major areas:.
