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:

For sea turtles, we are on a journey to establish fully locally led in-situ conservation in the Bay of Bengal region of Bangladesh. As a tiny group of Marine Conservationists, we are running this program fully funded by contributions from volunteers who are taking part in nest monitoring and research activities, and has research collaboration with the Department of Environmental Science and Management of North South University. We've successfully motivated local youths of Saint Martin's Island- one of the major nesting sites in Bangladesh, to establish in-situ nest monitoring and advocacy with tourism businesses for turtle friendly tourism practices. Volunteers are expected to help the local youth with conservation activities and taking part in several scientific studies based on their qualifications.

And as a not for profit society, 'Save Our Sea's broader work area is research for Ecosystem Based Management in Bay of Bengal region of Bangladesh and locally led marine conservation. We're doing underwater explorations and research work to delineate ecosystem boundary of several potential marine sub-system in the bay.

Organization Type: Non-governmental, Non-profit
