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:

We are working to protect Puerto Rico's Northeast Ecological Corridor. It's 3,000 acres, and 7 miles of beach are the second most important for Leatherback turtle nesting in US Jurisdiction. We achieved protection of the area as a nature reserve in 2008, but the current governor removed the designation. We celebrate a Leatherback Turtle Festival every year in April and continue to work arduously to protect the Corridor permenantly.
