SCDNR Marine Turtle Conservation Program

The SCDNR Marine Turtle Conservation Program is responsible for managing and protecting sea turtles in the state of South Carolina, USA. This program has several all encompassing components: management, monitoring, research, and education. More specifically this program provides technical expertise on anthropogenic activities that have the potential to impact sea turtles (i.e., nourishment, dredging), locates and protects sea turtle nests (~300 km of coastline), documents strandings, performs necropsies on fresh dead strandings, works with the SC Aquarium to provide rehablitation for live strandings, monitors nearshore waters for leatherbacks, and provides as much education, outreach and exchange of scientific information as time allows.

Description:

STRP works to protect sea turtle populations in ways that meet the ecological needs of sea turtles and the needs of local communities who share the beaches and waters with these endangered species. We see the sea turtle issue not only as a single-species environmental tragedy that needs immediate attention, but as a vehicle for shifting the paradigm of how the human species views its relationship with the natural world. We will continue to provide an analysis that stresses the unequal distribution of wealth and lack of community control of natural resources as the underlying roots of environmental destruction.
