Sea Turtle Restoration Project

Forest Knolls, California

Cause Description:
The Sea Turtle Restoration Project (STRP) protects endangered sea turtles in ways that make cultural and economic sense to the communities that share the beaches and waters with these gentle creatures. With projects in California, Texas, and Costa Rica, STRP has been leading the international fight to protect sea turtle populations worldwide by partnering with activists and communities to protect nesting beaches, establish marine conservation areas and reform fishery practices and policies. The Pacific Leatherback campaign focuses on preventing the extinction of the leatherback and has successfully established a protected zone for these highly endangered sea turtles along the California and Oregon coasts from gillnet fishing.
