Not only is today World Sea Turtle Day, but we're also kicking off the Leatherback Tour de Turtles! 9 leatherbacks from Panama are off to the races, but remember, the Tour de Turtles is a marathon, not a sprint! Follow them at tourdeturtles.org or the STC Turtle Tracker App

Happy Earth Day! One thing you can do for our planet today is make a quick call to the office of your congress member & ask them to vote NO on HR 1897, The ESA Amendments Act. If passed, this bill would weaken protections for thousands of animals & they're voting on it TODAY!

Stacey Gallagher of the Sea Turtle Conservancy writes that a bill amending the Endangered Species Act “prioritizes profit over wildlife protections” and “could mean a death sentence for countless species in Florida and beyond” if it moves forward. theinvadingsea.com/2026/04/2…

It’s giving “share the beach” vibes Beach-bound this spring or summer? Sea turtles are too—nesting season is just getting underway here in Florida. Marine turtles need dark, clean beaches without interruption for best nesting conditions. If you’re heading to the coast, remember, sharing is caring — show some love to nesting sea turtles by taking a few simple steps to share the beach ⬇️
