Sea Turtle Foundation, previously known as the Indo-Pacific Sea Turtle Conservation Group, was formed to help protect sea turtles, and to address the many threats they face. You can read more about sea turtles and the threats on this website.

We achieve our aim through education, monitoring, research support and advocacy. You can help us help the sea turtles by becoming a member, volunteering and donating funds or equipment.
