COASTS is on a mission to prevent the extinction of sea turtles and protect their natural habitat through targeted conservation actions, habitat restoration, scientific research, and outreach and education.

At the core of our work is a passionate and dedicated team of local assistants, scientists, students, conservationists, citizen scientists, and volunteers. We pride ourselves in being able to collaborate with a wide range of diverse groups, combining local knowledge with applied science and engaging and activating local stakeholders, to reach our goal and fill data gaps in sea turtle conservation.
