Save The Leatherback Campaign
Organization description:The Sea Turtle Restoration Project (STRP) is part of the Turtle Island Restoration Network, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. In addition to STRP, TIRN sponsors the Salmon Protection and Watershed Network, which focuses on the endangered coho salmon. Since 1997 TIRN has engaged communities and individuals in activism, hands-on conservation and habitat restoration to protect endangered marine wildlife worldwide. From sea turtle nesting beaches in Costa Rica, to the high seas of the Pacific, to the salmon streams that flow through West Marin’s San Geronimo Valley, we alert and activate the public to the plight of the environment by utilizing charismatic endangered species. Successes of TIRN have included: protecting and releasing more than 75,000 sea turtle hatchlings in Central America; saving nearly 10,000 endangered juvenile coho salmon and steelhead trout from evaporating pools; ending the legal slaughter of sea turtles in Mexico and closing the notorious sea turtle slaughterhouse and creating a fishing-free sanctuary for the Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle.
