Turtle Volunteering with PCC

SEE Turtles offers two opportunities with PCC to volunteer with sea turtle conservation projects.  From May 7-15, spend 3 nights working with giant leatherback turtles in Costa Rica. November 1-7, travel with us to sunny Baja for kayaking and green turtle research.  Learn more at PCC Climb (near OMSI) this Wed, 3/30 at 10 am.

Help Protect Loggerheads From Trawl Fishing

Numbers of nesting loggerhead turtles in the Southeast US have dropped 40% over the past decade.  One of their biggest threats is trawl fisheries, which kills thousands of turtles each year.  Please help our friends at Sea Turtle Restoration Project encourage NMFS to increase protections for these turtles.

Happy Spring!
