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:

National Aquarium Animal Rescue is federally authorized to rescue, rehabilitate and release stranded sea turtles and marine mammals. Through stranding response, we strive to improve our understanding of ocean health and in turn, promote stewardship of the ocean and coastal environment. With each case, we improve our understanding of marine mammals and sea turtles and the impact humans are making on their lives.

The National Aquarium, a non-profit organization, is Maryland’s most exciting and popular cultural attraction, as well as one of the region’s leading conservation and education resources, hosting more than 1.6 million visitors per year. The Aquarium’s mission is to inspire conservation of the world's aquatic treasures. It is dedicated to education and conservation through more than a dozen programs that serve the environment and the community.
