What YOU can do to Help
Let's face it. Sea turtles cannot save themselves. However, there are
many ways that you can help these beautiful creatures:
- One way is to volunteer your at time at the beach, were you can host
a beach clean up or go to nesting sites to observe the turtles in their
natural habitat.
- Another way that you can help is to support turtle organizations like
the TAMUG (Texas A & M University at
Galveston) and to help in their research.
- Report injured turtles to one of the following organizations:
- Sea Turtle Research Project at Texas A & M in Galveston.
- Local Turtle Stranding Network contacts.
- Sea World.
- Local Nature Centers and Arboretums.
One of the best ways to protect sea turtles is the
simple act of buying and demanding only turtle safe shrimp.

All of the above
things are exellent ways to help, but probably the best way you can save the
sea turtles is to spread the word about how these animals are endangered and
that they can no longer be over looked and ignored. People everywhere need
to know how they can help the sea turtles. Click
