The Sea Turtle Conservancy, formerly known as the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection, research, education, and advocacy of sea turtles and their habitats across the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Pacific regions. The private company is based in Gainesville, FL. The organization conducts science-based research including satellite telemetry tracking of sea turtle migrations, in-water population studies, and long-term monitoring projects such as continuous green turtle research at Tortuguero. It operates field sites and programs in countries including Bermuda and focuses on species like green, hawksbill, leatherback, loggerhead, and Kemp’s ridley turtles. Its work includes habitat protection, policy advocacy to reduce bycatch and promote sustainable alternatives to turtle fishing, and public education through guided turtle walks, eco-volunteer programs, internships, and youth advocacy training. The Barrier Island Center managed by the organization serves as an educational hub for barrier island habitats and sea turtle nesting beaches. The conservancy engages the public with interactive tools, adoption programs, fundraising events, and educational resources for schools and communities.
