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:

The Red Tortuguera A.C. unites sea turtle camps and researchers in Jalisco and Nayarit (Mexico), looking to work together for the conservation and protection of sea turtles.

History

In January 2011 a group of turtle biologists and enthusiasts from the states of Nayarit and Jalisco, Mexico decided to unite conservation efforts and create a network for local turtle protection camps (Campamentos Tortugueros) each member bringing different skills and knowledge to the group.

The founding turtle camps of Red Tortuguera A.C. (RETO) are El Naranjo (Guayabitos, Nayarit), Boca de Chila (Zacualpan, Nayarit), Mayto (Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco) and Puerto Vallarta (Jalisco). In 2012 three new sea turtle camps joined RETO, Careyeros (Punta de Mita, Nayarit), Punta Raza (Monteon, Nayarit) and Caminando con Tortugas (Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco).
