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

This project aims to obtain information about the biology and ecology of sea turtles that occur in the Complex Estuarino Lagunar of Cananéia /Paranaguá. Several subprojects in different fields are developed: genetics, ethnobiology, fishing, mortality, behavioral observation, epibionts, parasites and education.
We intend to contribute to the awareness of the local community and conservation of these animals and the region.
