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. https://t.co/arTPRUwvm2

ACTION ALERT‼️ Please tell your House Representative to vote NO on the ESA Amendments Act (HR 1897) 🚫

The Endangered Species Act, the most effective legal tool available to protect our sea turtles, would be gutted by this bill. More info and TAKE ACTION: https://t.co/qQjyDAffXk

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 ⬇️

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Did you know, green turtles are named for the color of their fat, not the color of their shell?? 🐢☘️💚

Turtle Rescue in Tortuguero! A juvenile green turtle, estimated to be one-year old, was found struggling offshore by local fishermenand delivered to staff at Sea Turtle Conservancy Tortuguero (Costa Rica). The small turtle was in critical condition, covered in oil, with breathing issues and limited movement. STC staff carefully cleaned the turtle and managed to improve its general condition. After being cleaned, the turtle was placed in a small tank with food, where its condition stabilized overnight until it was ready for release! Thanks to our hard-working staff and members of the community for saving this endangered turtle ❤️‍🩹
