Hello there,

Thank you for signing up for the SEE Turtles enewsletter at the Better Living Show!  This month, experience a unique Sea Turtle Volunteer Trip to Costa Rica with PCC, join us for a special presentation at Ecotrust, and help save turtles from trawl fishing.

Join us for a presentation on Wildlife Conservation Travel

SEE Turtles Co-Founder and wildlife conservationist will give a free special presentation in Portland at Ecotrust in the Pearl District.  Using striking photos and inspiring stories, Brad will show how wildlife travel can protect endangered animals.  Thursday, April 7th at 7 pm.  More info here.

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!
