About us
The International Sea Turtle Society has been a registered non-profit organization (501(c)(3) since February 1996. It convenes a uniquely important International Sea Turtle Symposium that brings people together from all around the world each year (more than 1000 people from approximately 80 countries). Since 1981 this community of sea turtle biologists, conservationists, educators, and advocates has gathered to share knowledge, build capacity, network and collaborate and ultimately, to leverage conservation. International Sea Turtle Society organization works to conserve turtles and tortoises in the Americas. They do this by conducting research, providing conservation assistance, and raising awareness about turtles. International Sea Turtle Society also works to reduce the demand for turtles as pets and to prevent the illegal trade of turtle parts.
