The Barbados Sea Turtle Project emphasizes partnerships in achieving our goals. At Sea Turtle Inc., our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured sea turtles, educate the public, and assist with conservation efforts for all marine turtle species.

Our mission is to recover marine turtle populations through the use of scientifically-sound conservation measures and monitoring programmes, and through the development and implementation of training, education and public awareness tools and activities that encourage the support and active participation of stakeholders. Many factors have contributed to their population decline including development on. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, over 200 baby sea turtles were brought to us for care. Our team often visits resorts to offer training to boat crews and staff on how best to rescue and release a turtle or identify when they are in.

The vision of the Barbados Sea Turtle Project (University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus) is to restore local marine turtle populations to levels at which they can fulfil their ecological roles while still providing opportunities for sustainable use by the people of Barbados, and to support similar efforts in other countries of the Caribbean. All sea turtles are endangered or threatened. TikTok video from Brevard Zoo (brevardzoo): 'These tiny sea turtles needed some TLC after the hurricane and our Sea Turtle Healing Center came to their rescue hurricaneian seaturtle zoo animals'. The Olive Ridley Project Code of Conduct is readily and freely available to all resorts, local islands and marine biologists to improve how turtles are rescued by members of the public that find them.
