Sea Turtles Forever

This is a small but mighty non-profit based in Oregon, USA and working to save endangered sea turtles in Costa Rica. Funds are used to hire local residents to patrol the nesting beaches every night during the season to prevent illegal egg take. They save 3,000 to 12,000 eggs and hatchlings each year! Also, their Founder invented an ingenious sand filtering device to remove toxic microplastics from coastal beach sand. Hundreds of volunteers clean up beaches around the world with this device and support from STF. Even a small donation will be put to good use, as there is NO overhead. Sea Turtles Forever!

Sea Turtles Forever is an amazing nonprofit organization! I am a donor and adopted a mother sea turtle and named her after my granddaughter. My donation helps track my adopted sea turtle and protect her eggs from poachers. I have received data directly from the organization about my sea turtle. I have also learned how the plastic micro particles in the ocean destroy the reefs that feed the other fish and prevent the sea turtles from eating the sea grass at the bottom of the ocean, which releases nutrients for the reef which in turn helps the lobsters, fish, and other ocean life prosper. This organization has prevented poachers from steeling eggs from the sea turtles nests, and clean up the environment so the sea turtles can prosper. This is one organization I will continue to support. I believe their efforts are helping our sea creatures survive, and flourish. They are awesome and deserve recognition for all their efforts, and successes!
