Sea Turtle Conservancy, formerly known as
the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, is
the world’s oldest sea turtle research and
conservation group. An international nonprofit
501(c)(3) organization, Sea Turtle Conservancy
was founded in 1959
by world-renowned sea
turtle expert Dr. Archie
Carr to save sea turtles
from eminent extinction
through rigorous sciencebased
conservation.
Headquartered in
Florida, the organization
carries out worldwide programs to conserve and
recover sea turtle populations through research,
education, advocacy and protection of the
natural habitats upon which they depend.
Over the course of 50 years, Sea Turtle
Conservancy’s research programs have yielded
much of what is now known about sea turtles and
the threats they face, and the organization is
applying this knowledge to carry out the world’s
most successful sea turtle protection and
recovery programs.
