Sea Turtle Guardian Inc – Help Protect Endangered Sea Turtles

Sea Turtle Guardian

Protecting the Ocean’s Gentle Giants

At Sea Turtle Guardian Inc., we are dedicated to the protection and preservation of endangered sea turtles and their habitats. As a nonprofit organization, our mission is to combat the threats these ancient creatures face and ensure their survival for generations to come.

For millions of years, sea turtles have played a crucial role in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems. However, human activities such as poaching, plastic pollution, habitat destruction, and accidental capture in fishing gear (bycatch) have pushed their populations to the brink of extinction. Without immediate action, these iconic species could disappear from our oceans forever.

Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a world where sea turtles thrive in safe, clean, and protected environments. Through conservation efforts, community engagement, and advocacy, we work tirelessly to rescue injured turtles, protect nesting beaches, and educate the public about the importance of marine conservation.

Every turtle saved, every beach cleaned, and every law strengthened brings us closer to a future where sea turtles are no longer endangered. But we can’t do it alone. With your support, we can restore balance to our oceans and give these magnificent creatures a fighting chance.

Why Sea Turtles Need Your Help

Sea turtle populations have declined by nearly 90% in some regions due to human activities. Poaching, plastic pollution, bycatch, climate change, and habitat destruction threaten their survival. Without urgent action, these ancient marine creatures could disappear forever. Your support can help protect them!

Poaching & Illegal Trade

Over 8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean annually, and sea turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, their natural prey. Ingesting plastic can cause fatal blockages, internal injuries, or starvation.

Plastic Pollution & Ocean Waste

Bycatch & Accidental Capture

Thousands of sea turtles die every year after getting caught in fishing nets, longlines, and shrimp trawls. Unable to escape, they drown or suffer severe injuries, making bycatch one of the leading causes of turtle deaths.

Habitat Destruction

Coastal development, pollution, and climate change are destroying nesting beaches. Artificial lighting near shores confuses hatchlings, leading them away from the ocean and reducing survival rates.

Climate Change

Rising temperatures impact sea turtle reproduction, as warmer sand produces more females, disrupting population balance. Additionally, rising sea levels threaten nesting sites, putting future generations at risk.

Ocean Acidification

Increased carbon emissions cause ocean acidification, weakening coral reefs, a key feeding ground for species like the green sea turtle. A disrupted food chain makes survival even more challenging.
