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.

Working with sea turtles since 2000

Description:

Community Centred Conservation, or 'C3' was established in 2002 by an international group of marine environmental consultants in Palau. Heralded as 'Future Conservationists of 2006' by four of the world's leading conservation organizations, we are a young and dynamic non-profit organization with a unique grassroots approach.

We focus on small-scale capacity building, scientific research and environmental education projects that lead to direct benefits for local communities through the sustainable use of their natural environment. By providing opportunities for local people to develop and participate in these projects, we help to ensure the long-term sustainability of our work.

To minimize overheads, all of C3's staff are resident in project countries, working closely with local collaborating organizations and governments. All are dedicated to reducing unnecessary costs and ensuring that our funding is used directly for work in the field.

OUR MISSION:

'...to develop conservation efforts worldwide by building the capacity of local individuals and institutions through grassroots research and training initiatives'

Organization Type: Academic, Non-governmental, Non-profit

Activities: Advocacy, Conservation, Education, Management, Monitoring, Outreach, Research
