Save the Turtles, Inc.

Mission Statement

Save the Turtles is a true all-volunteer grass-roots organization. Since our conception, no one has received any salaries, and the donations we receive are dedicated to the direct protection of endangered sea turtles and their eggs. Although we have assisted in different regions over the last 20 years, in 2022 we are sending grants to projects along the Caribbean Ocean in Costa Rica and the Pacific Ocean in Nicaragua where poaching is extreme. Our mission includes providing financial support to the local turtle patrollers who protect the beach at night, a dangerous job. We send grants whenever possible for their challenging work. Being able to provide salaries also benefits the locals, in the small communities, having a more sustainable life ..
