Ever wonder why we don’t carry baby sea turtles to the ocean? That first crawl is important: it strengthens their muscles, and allows them to "imprint" on the beach. That innate understanding of the beach helps them return years later when it's time to nest!
So how can you help? We partner with DomSeTCO to provide gear, training, and support.
Your donation helps bring essential tools and infrastructure to the front lines of sea turtle conservation.
Together, we can protect these ancient travelers. 🐢 (3/3)

Each season, DomSeTCO patrollers walk Dominica’s beaches by night—protecting nests, recording sightings, and engaging their community.
Poaching is illegal during nesting season, but it still happens. And sometimes, patrollers face real threats from those trying to scare them off. (2/3)
This beach shelter has seen better days. Built by Dominica Sea Turtle Conservation Organization (#DomSeTCO) for night patrols, it was part of their tireless work protecting sea turtles on Dominica’s beaches.
Recently, it was torn down—likely by someone hoping to hunt turtles illegally. (1/3)

#NOAA is bringing AI, #citizenscience, and coral conservation together through their "Click-A-Coral" program. This is a great example of how citizen science can support conservation! Our friends at #WildMe use a similar approach with #flukebook for whale conservation.
