More About Us

Why Are Sea Turtles Important?

Sea turtles, the keystone species of the sea, hold the key to maintaining thriving marine ecosystems. By preying on jellyfish and promoting seagrass growth, they ensure a delicate balance in the ocean. These magnificent creatures also contribute to nutrient cycling and coastal health, enriching the soil and supporting diverse coastal food webs. Join us in our mission to protect and conserve sea turtles, safeguarding the vitality of our oceans for generations to come.
