Cause Description:
CCC is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)membership organization based in Gainesville, FL. CCC was founded in 1959 by Mr.Joshua B. Powers in response to renowned ecologist Dr. Archie Carr's award-winning book, The Windward Road, which first alerted the world to the plight of sea turtles. Since its founding, CCC has been dedicated to the conservation of sea turtles and related marine and coastal wildlife through research, training, advocacy, education and the protection of natural areas. The Sea Turtle Survival League was launched as a permanent program of CCC in 1993. Drawing on CCC's three decades of international sea turtle conservation experience, the STSL is improving the survival outlook for marine turtles in the United States, especially in Florida, by (1)raising national awareness, (2) advocating for protection of sea turtles and their habitat and (3) empowering small, local sea turtle groups.
