SEE TURTLES (ESC SUPPORTED)
The Sea turtle Ecological Expeditions (SEE Turtles) program promotes learning about these amazing creatures and encourages wise sea turtle ecotourism in locations where visitors‚ travel dollars support local turtle protection efforts.

THE INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP (ESC SUPPORTED)
Each year, on a single day in September, half-a-million people across the globe join forces to remove waste from beaches and waterways, promote year-round prevention of marine debris, and show their support for clean coasts and oceans.

THE FLORIDA WILDLIFE PROGRAM (ESC SUPPORTED)
Ocean Conservancy staff work closely with coastal homeowners, fishing groups, and government officials to find collaborative solutions for reducing harm to sea turtles and manatees.

For centuries people have exploited the oceans with little thought to the future. As a result oceans are facing many problems, including artificial reefs made from human trash, bycatch, entanglement and overfishing in the commercial fishing industry, and cruise ship, runoff and air pollution. Oceans are a valuable resource on this planet that we mustn’t neglect any longer. The Ocean Conservancy has worked for more than three decades toward its of goal of wild, healthy oceans.  Increasing public awareness of ocean issues is one of the keys to bringing about significant changes to the way oceans are managed.
